The analysis is based on the thin film multilayer formalism in time and frequency domains. A high agreement is emphasized between experiment and theory, and we evaluate how realistic the multilayer solution can be in regard to our knowledge related to the sunflower leaf. A test campaign is performed in Charles Coulomb laboratory, which is equipped with the THz spectrometer. %G English %2 https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-02978005/document %2 https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-02978005/file/Spie%20West%202020.pdf %L hal-02978005 %U https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-02978005 %~ SDE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ IF %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ L2C %~ GIP-BE %~ IF-THEME-3 %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ ITAP %~ INSTITUT-AGRO-MONTPELLIER %~ INRAE %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ INRAEOCCITANIEMONTPELLIER %~ ANR %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ MATHNUM %~ INSTITUT-AGRO %~ TEST-MATHNUM
