Data Collection, Data Analysis, and Stepper Motor Operation for a Terahertz Time Domain Spectrometer

Abstract
Terahertz time domain spectroscopy is used to measure a material’s response to high frequency electromagnetic radiation. We describe a spectrometer in which a femtosecond pulse laser, in part, generates and detects terahertz radiation. The graphical programming language Lab VIEW is used to collect data, analyze data, and control spectrometer operation. In particular, a subroutine was designed to synchronize mirror movement with data collection. The spectrometer enables us to calculate the transmission coefficient of a material and determine its conductivity at terahertz frequencies.
