We present reflection THz-time domain spectroscopy measurements of the complex conductivity of n-type, 0.038 ⍀ cm GaAs and n-type, 0.22 ⍀ cm Si wafers. These measurements clearly demonstrate the efficacy of the reflection technique on highly conductive, optically dense samples and approach the precision of THz-TDS transmission measurements. Because the THz-bandwidth, reflection measurements extend beyond the carrier collision frequency, we obtain direct measures of the mobility and the carrier number density.
