Time domain measurement of the THz refractivity of water vapor.

چکیده
We report the measurement of the essentially frequency independent refractivity of water vapor from 0.1 to 1 THz, independent of the simultaneous strong THz pulse broadening and absorption. The humidity dependent transit time of THz pulses through a 170 m long round trip path was measured to a precision of 0.1 ps, using a mode-locked laser as an optical clock.

Decade-spanning high-precision terahertz frequency comb.
The generation and detection of a decade-spanning terahertz (THz) frequency comb is reported using two Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser oscillators and asynchronous optical sampling THz time-domain spectroscopy. The comb extends from 0.15 to 2.4 THz, with a tooth spacing of 80 MHz, a linewidth of 3.7 kHz, and a fractional precision of 1.8×10^{-9}. With time-domain detection of the comb, we measure...
متن کاملPrecipitable Water Vapor from Radar and 6.7 M Radiometer Comparison of Precipitable Water Vapor Observations by Spaceborne Radar Interferometry and Meteosat 6.7 M Radiometry
Satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) can be applied to study vertically integrated atmospheric refractivity variations with a spatial resolution of 20 m and an accuracy of 2 mm, irrespective of cloud cover or solar illumination. The data are derived from the diierence between the radar signal delay variations within the imaged area during two acquisitions with a temporal separation of one or ...
متن کاملDetermination of the water vapor continuum absorption by THz-TDS and Molecular Response Theory.
Determination of the water vapor continuum absorption from 0.35 to 1 THz is reported. The THz pulses propagate though a 137 m long humidity-controlled chamber and are measured by THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). The average relative humidity along the entire THz path is precisely obtained by measuring the difference between transit times of the sample and reference THz pulses to an accur...
متن کاملThe Refractivity of Air
The air density equation of Jones, Edlen's dispersion formula for standard air, and Edlen's empiricallyderived expressions for the effects of CO 2 abundance and water vapor partial pressure on refractivity have been combined into a simplified equation for the refractivity of air, and estimates have been made of uncertainties in calculated refractivity. Under ambient conditions typical of metrol...
متن کاملCharacterization and Application of Dichroic Filters in the 0.1–3-THz Region
Low-loss dichroic filters, a subgroup of frequency-selective components, have been characterized by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in the region from 0.1 to 3 THz and with Fourier transform spectroscopy. The two data sets are fully consistent. The time-domain spectrometer is used to investigate the phase velocity behavior of dichroic filters. The dichroic filters have various applications i...
