A THz Imaging Scanner to Monitor Leaf Water Content

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

THz radiation is absorbed and reflected by water at the same time. This characteristic can be exploited to monitor the water stress conditions of living plants. In this study, a THz imaging system operating in reflection mode has been used to monitor the variations of the water content in a basil leaf detached from the plant. The operation principles of this experimental setup with its components will be described in this research.
