Beamline - THz FarIR Home

The THz/Far-IR Beamline couples the high brightness and collimation of a bend-magnet synchrotron radiation to a Bruker IFS125HR spectrometer providing high-resolution spectra (0.00096 cm-1) with signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 1350 cm-1 for gas-phase applications; the beamline also delivers signal to noise ratio superior to that of thermal sources up to 350 cm-1 for condensed phase samples.
The THz/Far-IR Beamline is coupled to a Bruker IFS 125/HR Fourier Transform (FT) spectrometer.
This instrument can be connected to a multitude of accessories and components, allowing a variety gas and condensed phase experiments (see Beamline Experimental Setups ) to be conducted across a wide spectral range: THz – visible frequencies.

2022 Australian Synchrotron Microscopy Workshop

We recently held the Microscopy Group workshop where Dom presented a basic introduction to the THz beamline and outlined some of the great work that has been done on condensed-phase samples. A copy of the talk can be downloaded below.
