1. Importance of the precise measurements in the far-infrared (terahertz) region
Terahertz spectroscopy Wide scan spectrograph. for: Biological substance Non-destructive inspection High resolution spectroscopy Guanine frequency
Terahertz spectroscopy • Target of the high precision / high resolution spectroscopy of moledules in the THz region • Rotational spectra of light molecules • 2 or 3 atomic molecules including hydrogen • ex. water, H2D+ • ●astronomy, • ●remote sensing of atmosphere • ●"test stone" for newly proposed theories • Vib. Spectra of molecules with internal rotation • ex. methanol • Spectra with large amplitude vibration, inversion ex. Chain molecule • Vib. Rot spectra of molecular clusters • H2O, CO, N2 ... • ●interface of gas phase and condenced phase
