Title: Terahertz frequency domain spectrometer with integrated dual laser module
Inventor: LOGAN RONALD T JR
IPC: G01J3/42
Filed: 2009-03-31
Abstract: An integrated dual laser module within an apparatus for analyzing, identifying or imaging a target. The module is coupled to a pair of photoconductive switches (305, 309, Fig 3) to produce cw signals in the range of frequencies from 100 GHz to over 2 THz focused on and transmitted through or reflected from the target; and a detector for acquiring spectral information from signals received from the target and using a multi-spectral homodyne process to generate an electrical signal representative of some characteristics of the target with resolution less than 250 MH. Beams 107, 108 from lasers 105, 106 are combined by beam splitter BS1 into two further beams 109, 116, which are each further split by beam splitters BS2, BS3. The photoconductive switches are activated by laser beams 118, 111. The lasers in the module may be tuned to different frequencies and have two distinct low -frequency identification tones respectively that are used in conjunction with a stable optical filter element to permit precise determination of the offset frequency of the lasers.
