Abstract
A time-domain signal processing system for displaying, classifying, and recognizing temporal and spectral features in terahertz waveforms returned form materials. Specifically, novel techniques are described for classifying and analyzing the free induction decay exhibited by gases excited by far-infrared (terahertz) pulses. Illustratively, a simple geometric picture may be used for the classification of the waveforms measured for unknown gas species and gas mixtures.
