摘要
The spectral characteristics of air pollution gas sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide has been studied experimentally and theo-retically in the range of 0.2-2.6 THz. The gases absorption spectra of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, as measured by terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy (THz-TDS) technique, show equi-spaced absorption peaks. The peak intervals are varied for different gas and may relate with the molecule structures and rotation modes. We have calculated the intervals of rotational transition frequency according to the gases molecule structure and the rotational modes. The results are consistent with experimental results which confirm the suggestion that the absorption is coming from the molecular rotational transition. The study suggests a technique to detect air pollutants by THz-TDS and the rotational modes of gas molecules.
