[Research on Improving the Measurement Speed of THz-TDS Instruments].

The measurement speed is an important parameter of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) instruments. To improve the measurement speed of the spectrometer we need to increase the scanning speed of the delay line. In this paper, we study the influence of the scanning speed, the time constant of lock-in amplifier and the sampling rate on the signal quality.

[Frequency correction in terahertz absorption spectroscopy].

Measurement errors in frequency domain always appear when testing samples' terahertz (THz) absorption spectrum using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system, which is supposed to be attributed to the sampling accuracy of the high speed electro-optic sampling system In order to make the measurement have a high accuracy, the method of error correction was studied in the present article. Carbon monoxide in gas phase was employed as our standard sample, and its absorption spectrum at the pressure of 2.0 x 10(5) Pa was measured experimentally.

[Joint time-frequency analysis for removing the spectral interference of terahertz].

Conventional Fourier-transform mixes the frequency components of the entire temporal terahertz waveform in one frequency domain; therefore, it cannot distinguish the terahertz frequency in the main pulse from the noise frequency in the pulse tail. Thus traditional Fourier-transform produces inconsistent spectra from different scanning lengths of terahertz pulse. And the interference spectrum appears when the THz echo pulse is recorded.
