We study the Knieper measures of the geodesic flows on non-compact rank 1 manifolds of non-positive curvature. We construct the Busemann density on the ideal boundary, and prove that if there is a Knieper measure on T1M with finite total mass, then the Knieper measure is unique, up to a scalar multiple. Our result partially extends Paulin-Pollicott-Shapira’s work on the uniqueness of finite Gibbs measure of geodesic flows on negatively curved non-compact manifolds to non-compact manifolds of non-positive curvature.
