High-resolution heterodyne spectroscopy using a tunable quantum cascade laser around 3.5 THz

A frequency tunable terahertz heterodynespectrometer, based on a third-order distributed feedback quantum cascade laser as a local oscillator, has been demonstrated by measuring molecular spectral lines of methanol (CH[subscript 3]OH) gas at 3.5 THz. By varying the bias voltage of the laser, we achi...
