Abstract

The invention discloses an alcohol concentration measuring device by using terahertz anisotropic medium resonance effect and a method thereof. The terahertz anisotropic medium in the invention is formed by arranging two layers of metal resonance ring arrays on upper and lower surfaces of a polyimide substrate. An alcohol solution to be measured is disposed on the metal resonance ring array at one side of the anisotropic medium; terahertz waves sent by a backward wave oscillator vertically enter the metal resonance ring array at the other side; when the terahertz waves scan and change within a certain frequency range, a double-layer metal resonance ring array reflection coefficient curve is obtained by detection by two schottky diode detectors. The resonance effect of the metal resonance rings allows the resonance peaks on the reflection coefficient curve to move with the change of the alcohol concentration. The frequency spectrum resolution of the backward wave oscillator is less than 5 MHz, and the resonance peak movement in the reflection coefficient curve is more than 25 GHz when the solution to be measured changes from pure water to pure alcohol, so the precision of the measuring device for measuring alcohol concentration is up to more than 0.02%.
