CA 2396695

A system and method for using terahertz radiation to detect and monitor a substance undergoing a change in phase from a liquid phase to a solid phase or vice-versa is disclosed. By employing terahertz radiation in either the pulsed mode or in the continuous-wave (CW) mode, the system can non-invasively monitor these changes. The system uses the principle that matter in a liquid state will absorb and attenuate terahertz radiation to a larger degree than matter in a semisolid or solid state. Most terahertz radiation absorption occurs due to the rotational motions of molecules, i.e. either whole molecules or groups of atoms rotating about molecular bonds.

L'invention concerne un système et un procédé destinés à l'utilisation d'un rayonnement térahertz pour détecter et surveiller une substance soumise à un changement de phase, notamment entre une phase liquide et une phase solide ou vice versa. En utilisant un rayonnement térahertz dans le mode pulsé ou dans le mode en continu, le système peut surveiller ces changements de manière non invasive. Ledit système utilise le principe selon lequel une matière à l'état liquide absorbe et atténue un rayonnement térahertz dans une plus large mesure qu'une matière se trouvant dans un état semi-solide ou solide. L'absorption du rayonnement térahertz se produit en majeure partie sous l'effet des mouvements rotationnels des molécules, c'est-à-dire des molécules entières ou des groupes d'atomes tournant autour des liaisons moléculaires.
