We measure the refractive index via a minimum deviation prism technique of various plastics from 70-290µm (1-4THz) using a tunable terahertz gas laser. We find these plastics have indices varying from 1.43-1.61 over this range.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
