Abstract

The grating design for the 4.7 THz channel of GUSTO (Galactic/ Extragalactic ULDB Spectroscopic Terahertz Observatory) has been reported in this paper, which acts as a beam multiplexer for coupling a single QCL (Quantum Cascade Laser) beam to an 8-pixel mixer array. The design and analysis are based on modeling and simulations showing a successful accommodation of the requirements from the designed optical system. The asymmetric feature is used and to be applied for the first time at such a frequency range.
