Abstract

We propose a numerical method for the misplacement phase error correction in terahertz time-domain reflection spectroscopy (THz-TDRS). The developed algorithm is based on the maximum entropy principle and can be readily implemented into data processing, allowing one to reveal material parameters of the opaque materials from the THz reflection measurements. The method resolves the phase retrieval problem in the THz-TDRS and dramatically simplifies the experimental procedure.
