Abstract

We report nondestructive measurements of the properties of two-component epoxy adhesives at terahertz wavelengths using a transmissive time-domain spectroscopy system. The results show that the different epoxies have measurably different THz properties, that the changes which occur during the curing process can be monitored by measurements of their refractive index and absorption at terahertz wavelengths, and that this technique is sensitive enough to record changes in the optical material parameters during the postcuring process.
