Silicon beam splitter for far-infrared and terahertz spectroscopy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Silicon beam splitters several millimeters thick offer numerous advantages over thin freestanding dielectric beam splitters. For routine spectroscopy for which resolutions of better than 1 cm(-1) are not required, a silicon beam splitter can replace several Mylar beam splitters to span the entire far-infrared region. In addition to superior long-wavelength performance that extends well into the terahertz region, the silicon beam splitter has the additional advantage that its efficiency displays little polarization dependence.

Low-cost ultra-thin broadband terahertz beam-splitter.
A low-cost terahertz beam-splitter is fabricated using ultra-thin LDPE plastic sheeting coated with a conducting silver layer. The beam splitting ratio is determined as a function of the thickness of the silver layer--thus any required splitting ratio can be printed on demand with a suitable rapid prototyping technology. The low-cost aspect is a consequence of the fact that ultra-thin LDPE shee...
متن کاملTerahertz time-domain spectroscopy characterization of the far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of high-resistivity, float-zone silicon
The far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of high-resistivity, float-zone, crystalline silicon has been measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The measured new upper limit for the absorption of this most transparent dielectric material in the far infrared shows unprecedented transparency over the range from 0.5 to 2.5 THz and a well-resolved absorption feature at 3.6 THz. The...
متن کاملFar Infrared Studies of Silicon using Terahertz Spectroscopy
In this work, the optical properties of ptype silicon wafers, of various thicknesses, have been studied in the frequency range of 0.2 – 1.2 THz. It is seen that, for low resistivity silicon, the optical properties are dominated by the presence of dopants. The analysis technique deployed in the present work explores a general iterative procedure to determine the real and imaginary parts of the c...
متن کاملFar-infrared terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of flames.
We present what is to our knowledge the first comprehensive far-infrared absorption measurement of flames. These measurements, covering the region of 7-88 wave numbers (0.2-2.65 THz) are only now made possible by the technique of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. We observe a large number of absorption lines-including those of water, CH, and NH(3)-in a stationary, premixed, propane-air flame....
متن کاملComparison of Thermal Detector Arrays for Off-Axis THz Holography and Real-Time THz Imaging
In terahertz (THz) materials science, imaging by scanning prevails when low power THz sources are used. However, the application of array detectors operating with high power THz sources is increasingly reported. We compare the imaging properties of four different array detectors that are able to record THz radiation directly. Two micro-bolometer arrays are designed for infrared imaging in the 8...
