Wood is a hygroscopic material that is subject to phenomena of water exchange with the external environment. These exchanges can cause dimensional variations and cracks to appear on a macroscopic level. In recent years, the use of terahertz technologies in the field of diagnostics applied to cultural heritage has increased considerably. One of the most important characteristics of terahertz radiation is its sensitivity to water content; this polar liquid strongly absorbs and reflects this radiation. The subject of this study will be the detection of moisture in pine wood samples using a 97 GHz terahertz imaging system.

Abstract

Wood is a hygroscopic material that is subject to phenomena of water exchange with the external environment. These exchanges can cause dimensional variations and cracks to appear on a macroscopic level. In recent years, the use of terahertz technologies in the field of diagnostics applied to cultural heritage has increased considerably. One of the most important characteristics of terahertz radiation is its sensitivity to water content; this polar liquid strongly absorbs and reflects this radiation. The subject of this study will be the detection of moisture in pine wood samples using a 97 GHz terahertz imaging system.
