Unlocking synchrotron sources for THz spectroscopy at sub-MHz resolution

We report on the development of a sub-MHz resolution THz spectrometer exploiting heterodyne mixing of synchrotron radiation and a THz molecular laser.

Synchrotron-based far-infrared spectroscopy of HC$_3$N: Extended ro-vibrational analysis and new line list up to 3360 cm$^{−1}$

We report a joint pure rotational and ro-vibrational investigation of the lowest energy vibrational states of HC$_3$N.

Optically Pumped Terahertz Molecular Laser: Gain Factor and Validation up to 5.5 THz

We propose a new figure of merit, the molecular gain factor, that allows to discriminate transitions accessible by QCL-pumped THz gas lasers according to their lasing potential.

The eight lowest-energy vibrational states of benzonitrile: analysis of Coriolis and Darling-Dennison couplings by millimeter-wave and far-infrared spectroscopy

High-resolution infrared study of vinyl acetylene: The $\nu_{13}$ (214 cm$^{-1}$) and $\nu_{18}$ (304 cm$^{-1}$) fundamentals

The high resolution vibrational spectrum of vinyl acetylene (C2H3CCH) has been investigated in the far infrared region allowing the two energetically lowest vibrational fundamentals ν13 and ν18, and their respective hot bands, to be assigned.

Rotational and vibrational spectroscopy of 1-cyanoadamantane and 1-isocyanoadamantane

We report the rotational and vibrational investigation of two polar derivatives of adamantane (C10H16), 1-cyanoadamantane (C10H15--CN) and 1-isocyanoadamantane (C10H15--NC), providing all necessary information for an active search of these species in space.

A rotational and vibrational investigation of phenylpropiolonitrile (C$_6$H$_5$C$_3$N)

We report the rotational and vibrational investigation of phenylpropiolonitrile (3-phenyl-2-propynenitrile, C6H5C3N), a ring-chain derivatives of interstellar benzonitrile (C6H5CN).

The foreign-continuum absorption of water vapour in the far-infrared (50-500 cm$^{-1}$)

We investigated the continuum absorption of water vapour diluted in nitrogen, oxygen and air in the range of the pure rotational band of the water molecule (50-500 cm-1). Spectra recordings were performed at room temperature with a Fourier transform …
