Abstract: A dispersion stability evaluation method is a method for evaluating a dispersion stability of dispersoid dispersed in a dispersion medium. The dispersion stability evaluation method includes a first step of holding a sample including the dispersion medium and the dispersoid on a reflective surface, and a second step of causing terahertz waves to be incident on the reflective surface from a side opposite to the sample and detecting the terahertz waves reflected by the reflective surface. In the second step, while a state where the dispersoid are allowed to move toward the reflective surface is maintained, a plurality of detection results respectively corresponding to a plurality of times apart from each other are acquired.

Abstract: An optical property measurement apparatus includes a pulse formation unit, a waveform measurement unit, and an optical system. The pulse formation unit is capable of changing a temporal waveform of pulsed light in accordance with a type of optical property to be measured. The waveform measurement unit measures a temporal waveform of the pulsed light output from a measurement object after being incident on the measurement object. The optical system has an attenuation unit with an attenuation rate with respect to one wavelength component constituting the pulsed light larger than an attenuation rate with respect to another wavelength component constituting the pulsed light. The optical system is capable of switching between a first state in which the attenuation unit is arranged on an optical path of the pulsed light output from the measurement object and a second state in which the attenuation unit is not arranged on the optical path.

Abstract: A hygroscopicity evaluation method includes: a first step of preparing a first sample and a second sample; a second step of acquiring a first detection result for the first sample and a second detection result for the second sample by making a terahertz wave incident on each of the first and second samples; and a third step of evaluating the hygroscopicity of a measurement target object based on a first frequency characteristic calculated from the first detection result and a second frequency characteristic calculated from the second detection result. In the third step, the magnitude of the hygroscopicity of the measurement target object is evaluated based on the difference between the magnitude of a first peak of the first frequency characteristic in a reference frequency range and the magnitude of a second peak of the second frequency characteristic in the reference frequency range.
