Quantum cascade laser based hybrid dual comb spectrometer
THz precision spectroscopy is a hot research topic. We present a metrological-grade hybrid dual comb spectrometer merging the high emitted power of a THz-QCL frequency comb, with the accuracy and absolute frequency scaling of an optically rectified THz comb, locked against a frequency reference.
