High Resolution Waveguide Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy accesses the frequency range between 100 GHz and 5 THz by using the coherent generation and detection based on femtosecond laser sources. On the way to obtain fingerprint absorption spectra of molecular solids, terahertz waveguides have proven to be a valuable tool to extend the results to narrow and high resolution linewidths of crystalline solids. We will discuss the development, properties and applications of terahertz waveguide geometries for spectroscopic applications, in particular high-resolution measurements using parallel-plate waveguides.

Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy of nanometer water layers.
Waveguide terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is demonstrated to have the sensitivity to characterize nanometer-thick water layers on the surfaces of a parallel-plate metal waveguide. The measured far-infrared absorption and index of refraction of the 20-nm water layers are in reasonable self-consistent agreement with those of bulk water.
متن کاملHigh-resolution waveguide terahertz spectroscopy of partially oriented organic polycrystalline films.
We have characterized the terahertz (THz) vibrational spectroscopy of organic polycrystalline thin films using the new experimental technique of waveguide terahertz time domain spectroscopy (waveguide THz-TDS). The organic materials used in this study are tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) and 1,3-dicyanobenzene (13DCB). For each material, a thin film is cast onto one of the inner surfaces of a me...
متن کاملHigh-resolution waveguide THz spectroscopy of biological molecules.
Low-frequency vibrational modes of biological molecules consist of intramolecular modes, which are dependent on the molecule as a whole, as well as intermolecular modes, which arise from hydrogen-bonding interactions and van der Waals forces. Vibrational modes thus contain important information about conformation dynamics of biological molecules, and can also be used for identification purposes...
متن کامل7 GHz resolution waveguide THz spectroscopy of explosives related solids showing new features.
The vibrational modes of the explosive related solids 2,4- and 2,6-DNT have been measured with waveguide THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) to unprecedented precision. Dramatic sharpening of spectral features upon cooling beyond 80 K to 12 K is observed, illustrating the high quality and alignment of the polycrystalline thin films. Many of the observed features have linewidths below 15 GHz....
