Terahertz heterodyne spectrometer using a quantum cascade laser

A terahertz (THz) heterodyne spectrometer is demonstrated based on a quantum cascade laser(QCL) as a local oscillator (LO) and an NbN hot electron bolometer as a mixer, and it is used to measure high-resolution molecular spectral lines of methanol (CH[subscript 3]OH) between 2.913–2.918 THz. The spe...
