Abstract

The absorption coefficient and refractive index of the tourmaline in different directions have been firstly characterized by the terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Results show that the absorption and refractive index of terahertz are much related with the tourmaline structure. And the absorption along the optical axis direction is more sensitive than that of the vertical direction. Such a result indicates that the identification and characterization of crystals as well as minerals can be realized by the THz method.
