چکیده

In an open-air setting, one source of fluctuations in a T-ray (THz) pulsed signal is attributed to water vapor. Fluctuations of this type are generally undesired, and so the water vapor is commonly removed in a closed chamber. Yet, in some applications a closed chamber is not feasible. This paper presents a preliminary study on a computational means to address the problem. Initially, the complex frequency response of water vapor is modeled from spectral line data. Using a deconvolution technique, together with fine tuning of the line strength at each frequency, the response is partially removed from a measured T-ray pulse, with minimal signal distortion.

Numerical removal of water-vapor effects from THz-TDS measurements

One source of disturbance in a pulsed T-ray signal is attributed to ambient water vapor. Water molecules in the gas phase selectively absorb T-rays at discrete frequencies corresponding to their molecular rotational transitions. This results in prominent resonances spread over the T-ray spectrum, and in the time domain the T-ray signal is observed as fluctuations after the main pulse. These eff...

Evaluation of absorption efficiency of Zeolite ZSM-5 in the removal of styrene vapors

Background: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the most important and prevalent air pollutants. The vapor produced as a result of the vaporization ‎of these compounds, even at very low concentrations, is harmful to the environment and human health. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the removal of styrene vapor from the air flow using Zeolite ‎(ZSM-5) in a continuous ...

Plume outflow intrusion impact on acoustical signal fluctuations in a pre-stratified environment

Existence of outflow intrusion introduces small-scale turbulence that perturbs the vertically stratified character of the sound velocity and causes spatial and temporal fluctuations of the sound propagation. In this experimental study, we have investigated acoustic wave propagation with frequency of 50 kHz in a pre-stratified environment with intrusion of a turbulent plume while the si...
