We investigated liquid-sheet jets with controllable thickness for application to terahertz (THz) spectroscopy. Slit-type and colliding-jet nozzles were used to generate optically flat liquid jets. The thickness of the liquid sheet was determined precisely by spectral interference and THz time-domain-spectroscopy methods. By adjusting the collision angle of the colliding-jet nozzle, we could control the thickness of the liquid sheet from 50 to 120 μm.
