Abstract

Human and rat skin reflection spectra and the effect of glucose and glycerol on these spectra are studied in vivo by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in the frequency range of 0.1–2.0 THz. Variations in skin optical properties proved to correlate with changes in the blood glucose level.
