As part of a study for a second generation heterodyne spectrometer on SOFIA we are developing a 2.5-THz frontend which is implemented in a pulse-tube cooler. It consists of a quantum-cascade laser as local oscillator and a phonon-cooled NbN hot electron bolometric mixer. Frequency stabilization to below 300 kHz full width at half maximum is achieved by locking to a molecular absorption line. We will present the design and performance of the frontend and discuss the prospects for an application on board of SOFIA.

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a collaboration between East Asia, Europe and North America and now under construction, will be a single research instrument composed of 66 high-precision antennas located near Cerro Chajnantor, at 5000m in the Chilean Andes. Although the interferometer is not yet completed, early science observations will already start in September 2011 with 16 antennas.

The real-time interferometer is a diagnostic for advanced accelerator and light source facilities the employ high-brightness beams. The diagnostic provides single-shot measurements of the electron beam temporal profile by analyzing the emitted terahertz radiation from coherent radiation generation processes. Here we present preliminary data to ascertain the viability of the diagnostic that will be commissioned at the Brookhaven National Laboratory Accelerator Test Facility.

We demonstrate the operation of broadband heterogeneous terahertz quantum cascade lasers by carefully designing sub-stacks to align at the same field. Time domain spectroscopy measurements confirm that a flat gain spectrum is present and when incorporated into metal-metal waveguides we find broadband operation over 380 GHz when metal-metal ridges with non-vertical side-walls are used.

We fabricate THz lenses by compression molding of pure polymer micro powders as well as extruded polymeric compounds. In particular the latter provide higher refractive indices than pure polymers which allows for thinner lenses, higher numerical apertures and hence, better focusing. Besides, compression molding is very cost efficient.

We have measured the evolution of the THz spectrum of polymeric iron(II) spin crossover compounds within the Low-Spin/High-Spin thermal hysteresis loop in the ∼0.6–6 THz frequency range. This study enabled to evidence the large variations of both the refractive optical index and the absorption that occur during the spin state phase transition.
