Abstract

Terahertz (THz) technology is particularly suitable for non-destructive detection of porcelain sherd due to the unique properties of non-ionizing, high penetration, and broad-spectrum. In this paper, we investigated the reflection characteristics of the pigments and sediments for red and green porcelain sherd of Bayi Kiln made in Shanxi province during the Jin Dynasty by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS), obtaining the spectral responses of different components. Furthermore, Raman spectroscopy was used as a complementary technique to complete the qualitative analysis of the pigments and sediments. In addition, the reflective THz imaging was performed to visualize the pigments and sediments in different regions of the porcelain sherd, realizing the visual detection of the pattern on the surface of the porcelain sherd. These results show that THz-TDS and THz-imaging can serve as effective tools for the detection and analysis of ancient Chinese porcelain.
