Abstract :
We present an experimental study of electromagnetic losses resulting from atmospheric absorption and scattering on terahertz (THz) radiation. A sealed, high-Q quasi-optical resonator system permits the control of the atmospheric water content and allows for measurement of electromagnetic losses.
