Abstract
The characteristics of the terahertz (THz) frequency range are very favorable for gas spectroscopy due to the presence of rotational fingerprint spectra of many molecules. Since advanced silicon-based technology can offer a cost-efficient access to these frequencies, the technology is promising to be used for everyday applications in the near future. In this article, we will present THz systems and their performances for applications in medicine and metrology, namely for the analysis of exhaled human breath and for frequency standards. We will discuss technical backgrounds and summarize our current developments in this field.
