dc.description.abstractThis paper describes a study conducted into the limit on spectral resolution due to the dynamic range of a T-ray spectrometer. The pulsed nature of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) sets a fundamental limit on its spectral resolution. The spectral resolution of THz-TDS can be improved by increasing the duration of the temporal measurement, but is limited by the dynamic range of the system in the time-domain. This paper presents calculations and experimental results relating the temporal dynamic range of a THz-TDS system to its spectral resolution. We discuss three typical pulsed terahertz sources in terms of their dynamic range and hence achievable spectral resolution.
