The terahertz time-domain and Raman spectra of steroids in the region of 0.1-3.5 THz have been measured. Steroids have several intense and specific absorption features in the THz frequency region. The features are uniquely determined by a hormone structure. This allows us to analyze steroids in complex samples such as pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs and biological fluids, and in process of the pharmacological and chemical synthesis.
