Abstract
A submillimeter-wave/far-infrared (SMM/FIR) laser sideband heterodyne spectrometer has been built for molecular rotational spectroscopy appl ication in the frequency range of 600-3000 GHz. Based an Gaussian opti cs, optical system of the spectrometer is designed to be quasi-achroma tic and low losses. In this article the optical design and the perform ance of the spectrometer are presented.
