Justin L. Neill, Brent J. Harris, Amanda L. Steber, Kevin O. Douglass, David F. Plusquellic, Brooks H. Pate
Chirped-pulse Fourier transform spectroscopy has recently been extended to millimeter wave spectroscopy as a technique for the characterization of room-temperature gas samples. Here we present a variation of this technique that significantly reduces the

Frequency-agile, rapid scanning spectroscopy

Gar W. Truong, Kevin O. Douglass, Stephen E. Maxwell, Roger D. van Zee, David F. Plusquellic, Joseph T. Hodges, David A. Long
Challenging applications in trace gas analyses require high precision and acquisition rates.1-4 Many continuous-wave laser spectroscopy techniques exhibit significant sensitivity and potential;5 however, their scanning rates are slow because they rely upon

Microwave measurements of proton tunneling and structural parameters for the propiolic acid - formic acid dimer.

Adam M. Daly, Kevin O. Douglass, Laszlo C. Sarkozy, Justin L. Neill, Matt T. Muckle, Daniel P. Zaleski, Brooks H. Pate, Stephen G. Kukolich
Microwave spectra of the propiolic acid-formic acid, (Pro-FA) doubly hydrogen bonded complex were measured in the 1-21 GHz range. Rotational spectra for seven isotopomers were obtained and fit. For the parent isotopomer, a total of 138 a-dipole transitions

Construction of a High Power OPO Laser system for Differential Absorption LIDAR

Kevin O. Douglass, Stephen E. Maxwell, David F. Plusquellic, Joseph T. Hodges, Roger D. van Zee, Daniel V. Samarov, James R. Whetstone
Our goal is to develop and characterize optical measurement technology to enable accurate quantification of greenhouse-gas emissions to meet the needs of industry and regulators. A 1064 nm pumped high energy optical parametric oscillator (OPO) operating

Rotationally Resolved C2 Symmetric Conformers of Bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)methane: Textbook Examples of Excitonic Coupling in the S1 and S2 Electronic States

September 1, 2011

Shin G. Chou, Chirantha P. Rodrigo, Christian Muller, Kevin O. Douglass, Timothy Zwier, David F. Plusquellic
Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled bis-4 hydroxy)-diphenylmethane (b4HBM) have been obtained using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. A recent vibronic level study of b4HPM1 has

Chirped-pulse terahertz spectroscopy for broadband trace gas sensing

April 22, 2011
Author(s)
Eyal Gerecht, Kevin O. Douglass, David F. Plusquellic
We report the first demonstration of a broadband trace gas sensor based on chirp-pulse terahertz spectroscopy. The advent of newly developed solid state sources and heterodyne detectors for the terahertz frequency range have made it possible to generate

Rotationally Resolved Studies of the Exciton Coupled S1/S2 Origin Regions of Diphenylmethane and the d12 Isotopologue

December 9, 2008
Author(s)
David F. Plusquellic, Kevin O. Douglass, Jaime Stearns, Nathan Pillsbury, Timothy Zwier, Christian Muller
Rotationally resolved microwave and ultraviolet spectra of jet-cooled diphenylmethane (DPM) and DPM-d^12 have been obtained in S 0, Sd1 and S2 electronic states using Fourier-transform microwave and UV laser/molecular beam spectrometers. The S0 and S1

THz Investigations of Condensed Phase Biomolecular Systems

Kevin O. Douglass, Hailiang Zhang, Susan K. Gregurick, Karen M. Siegrist, David F. Plusquellic
Terahertz (THz) spectroscopic investigations of crystalline dipeptide nanotubes are discussed in the frequency region from 0.6 THz (2 cm-1) to 3 THz (100 cm-1). The THz region provides access to collective modes of biomolecular systems and is therefore
