Mid infrared-terahertz double resonance experiments at Jefferson Lab - a progress report
Mid infrared-terahertz double resonance experiments at Jefferson Lab - a progress report
An attempt to observe THz/mid-infrared double resonance using the Jefferson Laboratories coherently enhanced synchrotron THz radiation (CSR) source and, initially, a broad-band thermal IR source is described. By using the inherent RF pulse structure of the CSR source with an RF phase sensitive detector, and an FTIR spectrophotometer with a fast mercury cadmium telluride detector, it is hoped to recover the double resonance signal in a frequency multiplexed manner. Full phase information will also be retrieved yielding discrimination between 'prompt' and 'thermal' contributions. The initial targets will be gas phase, but ultimately we will address biomolecules looking for THz driven low frequency vibrations modulating, for example the mid-IR amide bands. It is hoped eventually to monochromate the THz source and use the JLab mid IR FEL for fully time and frequency resolved studies of the double resonance. The talk is very much an update on work in progress, as we attack a wide range of electronic and optical issues which need to be overcome.

Abstract
An attempt to observe THz/mid-infrared double resonance using the Jefferson Laboratories coherently enhanced synchrotron THz radiation (CSR) source and, initially, a broad-band thermal IR source is described. By using the inherent RF pulse structure of the CSR source with an RF phase sensitive detector, and an FTIR spectrophotometer with a fast mercury cadmium telluride detector, it is hoped to recover the double resonance signal in a frequency multiplexed manner. Full phase information will also be retrieved yielding discrimination between 'prompt' and 'thermal' contributions. The initial targets will be gas phase, but ultimately we will address biomolecules looking for THz driven low frequency vibrations modulating, for example the mid-IR amide bands. It is hoped eventually to monochromate the THz source and use the JLab mid IR FEL for fully time and frequency resolved studies of the double resonance. The talk is very much an update on work in progress, as we attack a wide range of electronic and optical issues which need to be overcome.
