Terahertz spectroscopy using quantum-cascade lasers
Keyword(s):
Terahertz (THz) quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) provide powerful, narrow-band, and frequencytunable radiation, which makes them ideal sources for high-resolution molecular spectroscopy. A first application of a THz QCL has been as local oscillator in a heterodyne spectrometer for astronomy on board a Boeing 747. For laboratory spectroscopy, QCLs close the so-called THz gap and enable new research topics.
