We demonstrate that a multi-mode fiber can operate as a high-resolution spectrometer after calibrating the wavelength-dependent speckle patterns. A 20m fiber provides 8pm resolution and a 2cm fiber enables broadband operation covering the visible spectrum.

The exploitation of a THz frequency comb for absolutely-referenced THz spectroscopy is presented. The frequency of a 2.5-THz QCL, phase-locked to the comb, is swept across a methanol line, providing the spectroscopy with and absolute-frequency scale.
