Terahertz reflectivities of metal-coated mirrors

Appl Opt. 2011 Jul 1;50(19):3201-4. doi: 10.1364/AO.50.003201.

Abstract

Terahertz (THz) reflectivities of a variety of metal-coated mirrors were measured. Gold, silver, and aluminum coatings were tested and compared. It was found that all types of optical metal-coated mirrors perform equally well as THz reflectors.
