We describe a THz spectrometer operating between 1.2 and 10.5 THz, consisting of band pass filters made by metasurfaces. The source is made of a 10 W small black body. The detector is a high sensitivity room temperature pyroelectric sensor. Various techniques that are used to prepare samples are described. The spectra obtained are compared with those measured with a Fourier Transformer Infrared Spectrometer on the same samples. Our instrument, which uses commercial technologies available at the present time, can constitute an economical alternative to very expensive spectrometers. It has already been successfully used, obtaining precise spectroscopic measurements on many inorganic powders.

Abstract
We describe a THz spectrometer operating between 1.2 and 10.5 THz, consisting of band pass filters made by metasurfaces. The source is made of a 10 W small black body. The detector is a high sensitivity room temperature pyroelectric sensor. Various techniques that are used to prepare samples are described. The spectra obtained are compared with those measured with a Fourier Transformer Infrared Spectrometer on the same samples. Our instrument, which uses commercial technologies available at the present time, can constitute an economical alternative to very expensive spectrometers. It has already been successfully used, obtaining precise spectroscopic measurements on many inorganic powders.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
