摘要

We present the results of optimizing numerically a small-size cylindrical multipass cell based on a modified Herriott optical scheme. The cell has a separate THz beam input/output system and a common reflective cylindrical element that forms a closed measuring volume. Using numerical modeling methods and the geometric optics approach, the geometry of the cylindrical multipass cell was optimized. It is shown that the use of a reflective element with a parabolic profile allows one to minimize beam deformations during multiple reflections of the beam. The optimized geometry of the input/output system of the radiation and a reflective element having an internal radius of 65 mm and a height of 40 mm ensures the possibility to vary the optical path length in the range from 0.78 m to 2.61 m.
