摘要: A method for determining the thickness of a plurality of coating layers, the method comprising:
performing a calibration analysis on calibration data to determine initial values and search limits of optical parameters of said plurality of coating layers,
irradiating the said plurality of layers with a pulse of THz radiation, said pulse comprising a plurality of frequencies in the range from 0.01 THz to 10 THz;
detecting the reflected radiation to produce a sample response said sample response being derived from the reflected radiation;
producing a synthesised waveform using the optical parameters and predetermined initial thicknesses of said layers; and
varying said thicknesses and varying said optical parameters within the said search limits to minimise the error measured between the sample response and the synthesised waveform; and
outputting the thicknesses of the layers.-

摘要: Apparatus and method for detecting an explosive material, involving irradiating an object with a continuous wave (CW) or pulsed beam of Terahertz radiation, preferably in the frequency range of 100 GHz to 100 THz and detecting radiation transmitted and/or reflected from the object. A spectrum is constructed from the detected radiation, which is indicative of a fundamental property of the explosive material. This constructed spectrum is compared with one or more known spectra of explosive materials to determine whether a likeness exists.

摘要: Method and apparatus for investigating a sample particularly a pharmaceutical tablet. An emitter and/or the sample are initially positioned so that the emitter is at a predetermined distance and normal angle to a first point on a surface of the sample. The emitter then irradiates the sample with radiation having a plurality of frequencies in the range from 25GHz to 100THz at a plurality of points on the surface of the sample. Relative motion is possible between the emitter and the sample so that the surface of the sample can be tracked to maintain the predetermined distance and normal angle at each of the plurality of points, and allow radiation transmitted and/or reflected from the sample at the plurality of points to be detected. This has particular application to imaging the structure or composition of a coating on a pharmaceutical tablet.

摘要: An apparatus for investigating a sample comprising a source of a beam of radiation, a detector for detecting a beam of radiation reflected by or transmitted through a sample to be imaged, an optical subsystem for manipulating the beam between the source and detector and means for translating the optical subsystem along a first translation axis relative to the source and detector to scan the beam across the sample, wherein the source and the detector are on opposite sides of the subsystem and the beam from the source and the beam reflected or transmitted each enter and exit the subsystem in a direction parallel to the first direction of translation. The apparatus is also suitable for maintaining the relative phase of two beams of radiation, during translation of an optical subsystem.

摘要: Imaging techniques of pharmaceutical preparations such as tablets are disclosed. The techniques combine the measurement of reflected/transmitted terahertz radiation originating from within the tablet and data analysis localized in frequency and time in order to enable a three dimensional image indicating composition to be obtained.
