High optical quality nonlinear crystals of solid solution GaSe(1-x)S(x), x=0, 0.05, 0.11, 0.22, 0.29, 0.44, 1 were grown by modified Bridgman method with heat field rotation. Ordinary and extraordinary wave dispersion was studied in detail as a function of sulfur content by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) in the 0.3-4 THz range using cleaved and processed (cut and polished) crystals. Suitable dispersion equations for different parts of the entire transparency range were derived, utilizing comparative analyses of the measured data, the available published data, and approximations in the form of Sellmeier equations. A criterion was proposed for selecting measurement results of adequate quality, based on the etalon patterns in the transmission spectrum.

Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials are shaping the landscape of next-generation devices, offering significant technological value thanks to their unique, tunable, and layer-dependent electronic and optoelectronic properties. Time-domain spectroscopic techniques at terahertz (THz) frequencies offer noninvasive, contact-free methods for characterizing the dynamics of carriers in 2D materials. They also pave the path toward the applications of 2D materials in detection, imaging, manufacturing, and communication within the increasingly important THz frequency range.

Terahertz waves are nondestructive and non-ionizing to synthetic and natural materials, including polymeric and biological materials. As a result, terahertz-based spectroscopy has emerged as a suitable technique to uncover fundamental molecular mechanisms and material properties in this electromagnetic spectrum regime. In terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), the material's optical properties are resolved using the raw time-domain signals collected from the sample and air reference data depending on accurate prior knowledge of the sample geometry.

3D printing has become essential to many fields for its low-cost production and rapid prototyping abilities. As 3D printing becomes an alternative manufacturing tool, developing methods to non-destructively evaluate defects for quality control is essential. This study integrates the non-destructive terahertz (THz) analysis methods of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and terahertz computed tomography (THz CT) to image and assess 3D printed resin structures for defects.
