State-of-the-art database of terahertz spectroscopy based on modern web technology

Abstract

We present a review of a pioneering database on terahertz spectroscopy established by the National Institute of Information and Communication Technology and RIKEN. The database is universally available on the World Wide Web via the Internet since 2008 and was recently restructured on the basis of contemporary HTML5 technology. Flexibility and convenience to browse spectroscopic data are much improved. In the database, no less than 1500 spectroscopic data have been consolidated and provided for various materials under different conditions. Furthermore, a data upload system from general users has been prepared to enrich the database further. © 2013 IEEE.
