Résumé:

We apply reverse engineering techniques (RET) to analyze the dehydration process of a sunflower leaf with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The multilayer structure of the leaf is extracted with accuracy during the entire process. Time variations of thickness and the complex index are emphasized for all leaf layers (2 cuticules, 2 epiderms, and 2 mesophylls). The global thickness of the sunflower leaf is reduced by up to 40% of its initial value.
