Terahertz (THz) signals measured by means of the spectral-encoding technique with different temporal discrepancies between probe pulses and THz signals are investigated. It is found that imperfect synchronization between the chirped probe and THz pulses induce a distortion and this distortion affects significantly the retrieved THz spectrum if the temporal discrepancy is large. The distortion becomes more prominent if the probe pulse length is less than the optimal chirped probe pulse duration. A simple approach is proposed to realize the synchronization and minimize the distortion. THz signals from a high-voltage-biased air plasma filament are measured with this approach and distortion similar to the simulation results is observed.

Article Synopsis
- Linear tricarbon selenide (CSe) is being analyzed for the first time through advanced high-resolution infrared and microwave spectroscopy techniques.
- Initial detection of the molecule occurred in the infrared range at about 5 μm and included observations of various isotopologues of CSe.
- The study also involved using quantum-chemical calculations to derive accurate bond lengths and rotational constants for the isotopologues based on experimental data.

To assess the presence of oxygen-containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OPAHs) in the interstellar medium and understand how water aggregates on an OPAH surface, we present a comprehensive gas-phase spectroscopy investigation of the OPAH xanthene (CHO) and its complexes with water using IR-UV ion dip spectroscopy and chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The infrared spectrum of xanthene shows weak features at 3.42, 3.

Here, we combine differential chirp downconversion to probe large spectral bandwidths and serrodyne modulation to separate the positive and negative sidebands in a single modulator. As an initial demonstration, we apply this approach to measure a sharp cavity resonance to illustrate the system performance.

The generation of terahertz radiation via laser-induced plasma from two-color femtosecond pulses in air has been extensively studied due to its broad emission spectrum and significant pulse energy. However, precise control over the temporal properties of these ultra-broadband terahertz pulses, as well as the measurement of their polarization state, remain challenging. In this study, we review our latest findings on these topics and present additional results not previously reported in our earlier works.
