| Abstract: | A compact THz Free Electron Laser (FEL) isbeing used to perform irradiation ofbiological samples to investigate possiblegenotoxic effects. In order to evaluate theexact radiation dose absorbed by the singlecomponents of the samples it is necessaryto study the optical properties of thesamples, separating the contributions tothe radiation attenuation coefficientcoming from absorption and from diffusion.Spectroscopic measurements have beenperformed on different biological samples, comparing the experimental results withtheoretical models. |
