Abstract<br>
<b>Daniel R. Grischkowsky,</b> Oklahoma State University<br>
<i>THz-time domain spectroscopy of molecular vapors<br>
</i>The effectiveness of THz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) will be
demonstrated by measurements of rotational transitions in molecular
vapors. A previously impossible far-infrared (THz-TDS)
characterization of an active flame will be described and compared to
far-infrared Fourier Transform Spectroscopy. Waveguide THz-TDS
measurements of 20 nm water layers will be described and compared with
submonolayer THz-TDS measurements of water, ammonia, and methyl
halides.<br><br>
