Description
A technique that extends the capabilities of attenuated total reflection (ATR) apparatus to an additional partial reflection/partial transmission mode is explored, using water and water based biological tissues as samples at terahertz radiation frequencies (THz). The method uses synchrotron radiation and a diamond crystal in the ATR apparatus to track the temperature dependent changes in reflectance in the 0.5 to 10 THz range. The “thermal crossover and flare” feature in the ATR spectral scan is noted which seems to be characteristic of water dominated compounds. Since many cancers have higher water content than normal tissue, this method promises to establish a new diagnostic modality.
