Thin film reverse engineering techniques are applied to the Fourier amplitude of the reflected and transmitted signals in the frequency range f < 1.5 Terahertz (THz). Validation is first performed with success on etalon samples. The optimal structure of the leaf is found to be a 8-layer stack, in good agreement with microscopy investigations. Results may open the door to a complementary classification of leaves. %G English %2 https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-03016956/document %2 https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-03016956/file/THzOpticExpress-FINAL.pdf %L hal-03016956 %U https://hal.inrae.fr/hal-03016956 %~ SDE %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-AMU %~ CDF %~ IF %~ EC-MARSEILLE %~ L2C %~ GIP-BE %~ IF-THEME-4 %~ PSL %~ MIPS %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ ITAP %~ INSTITUT-AGRO-MONTPELLIER %~ INRAE %~ TEST-HALCNRS %~ INRAEOCCITANIEMONTPELLIER %~ CDF-PSL %~ ANR %~ IBDM %~ UM-2015-2021 %~ MATHNUM %~ INSTITUT-AGRO %~ TEST-MATHNUM
