Abstract
We have developed a #continuous-wave (CW) terahertz (THz) radiation
source that is excited using a #laser diode (LD). With this source, the
radiation is generated via difference frequency generation (DFG) under
non-collinear phase matching in #gallium phosphide (GaP). A distributed
feedback (DFB) LD and an external cavity laser diode (ECLD) were used as
the excitation light sources, and these, together with a polarization
maintaining (PM) #ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier, had linewidths of less
than 4 MHz. The narrow linewidth means that the THz radiation can be
used for high resolution spectroscopy. As an example of this, the
spectrum for a mixture of saturated water vapor and ethanol at room
temperature was obtained, where the spectral absorption lines for water
and ethanol at around 2.46 THz could be distinguished. Furthermore, the
THz spectra of water vapor at different humidity levels were measured
under normal atmospheric conditions. From these we obtained the
dependences on humidity of the position of the absorption peak, its FWHM
and the intensity of the #water vapor absorption band due to the
rotational transition of 432 ←423.
