Millimeter/submillimeter nonlinear spectroscopy

摘要

The techniques of coherent transient spectroscopy have been successfully applied to the microwave and optical regions of the spectrum, but lack of suitable sources has prevented convenient extension to the millimeter/submillimeter region where several strong molecular transitions occur. Analysis of the experimental requirements and theory for such experiments considering several molecules including H2O and CH3Cl indicates how such experiments can be performed employing recently developed oscillators with increased power.
