Abstract: We report on the application of terahertz (THz) waves radiated from Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (BSCCO) intrinsic Josephson junction (IJJ) stacks on the gas detection. The THz emission is provided by controlling the voltage across the stack, and the ammonia gas absorption peak at a frequency of about 0.572 THz was observed by adjusting the bias current for a direct and mixing detection technique. The minimum absorption linewidth turned out to be as narrow as about 5 MHz. The obtained ammonia-absorption spectra suggest that the BSCCO emitter can be an important terahertz source for potential THz applications in trace-gas detection.
Keywords: BSCCO, Terahertz emitter, Terahertz spectroscopy.
