13 Single-cycle (broad-band) terahertz pulse sources I., Emitters and detectors based on photoconductive antennas Time domain THz spectrometer (TDTS) Based on photoconductive switches or photoconductive antennae Photocond. antennae h = R L n n 1 Jepsen: JOSA B 13, 44 (1996) 13
14 Emitters and detectors based on photoconductive antennae The averaged photocurrent is: di( t) E THz ( t) dt T 1 j( τ ) = E( t) g( t + τ ) dt T 0 where E(t) is the THz electric field and g(t) is the conductivity 14
15 Measured THz pulse-shape P laser = 30 mw Δt laser = 100 fs E THz =100 V / cm I average = 10 na 15
16 and the spectrum calculated from that Broad spectral bandwidth Δν ν FWHM mean 16
17 Time domain terahertz spectroscopy (TDTS) Time domain THz spectrometer (TDTS) is usually based on photoconductive switches (photoconductive antennae) Set-up for transmission measurement The sample is placed between the two off-axis parabolic mirrors Photocond. antennae P. U. Jepsen: JOSA B 13, 44 (1996) 17
18 Time domain terahertz spectroscopy (TDTS) But time domain THz spectrometer (TDTS) is sometimes based on optical rectification and electro-optic sempling Set-up for transmission measurement A. Nahata et al.: Appl. Phys. Lett. 69, 31 (1996) 18
19 Time domain terahertz spectroscopy (TDTS) Reflection set-up And time domain THz spectrometer (TDTS) is sometimes based on THz pulse generation and detection in air plasma Set-up for reflection measurement X.-C. Zhang: Intr. to THz wave photonics, Springer (010) 19
20 Calculation of the spectra In both cases the E(t) temporal shape of the THz pulses are measured by sampling, and the complex spectrum of the THz pulse calculated by (fast) Fourier transformation: ~ iφ ( ω iωt ( ω ) = A( ω) e ) = E( t) e dt E The δω spectral resolution is limited by the T temporal scanning range: The spectral range is limited by the δt temporal step of sampling: In order to have a smooth calculated THz spectrum 0 padding technique (adding several 0 values to one of both side of the measured waveform) can be used. This mathematically increases the value of T, resulting more dense calculated spectral points. However, the resolution will not be better. δω = π T Δω = π δt (Δω is decreased by the finite spectral width of the source and the bandwidth of the detection.) 0
21 Calculation of the spectra Measured waveform Calculated spectrum Jepsen: JOSA B 13, 44 (1996) Both for transmission and reflection measurement a reference measurement is needed. In the case of transmission measurement the reference can be a measurement without the sample. In the case of reflection measurement reference is the result of a measurement with a mirror in exactly (with an accuracy of a very small fraction of the wavelength) in the place of the sample. 1
22 Calculation of the spectra Simplest case For transmission measurement the evaluation is simplest if a thinner sample is used as a reference. In this case the effect of the Fresnel loss at the surfaces will be canceled. If the E S (t) signal and E R (t) reference waveforms are measured on a shorter temporal length than the round-trip time in the reference (t RT =nd r /c), the (field) absorption spectrum is given by: α( ω) = n( ω) 1 A ln d A = 1+ ( ω) ( ω) and the index of refraction is given by: where d=d S -d R. Both amplitude and phase can be measured. R S [ φ )( ω) φ ( ω ] S R ) d ω c Both the real and imaginary part of index of refraction and permittivity can be determined.

Plettner et al., Phys. Rev. ST-AB, 9, (006) Demonstration of acceleration in DLA E. A. Peralta et al., Nature, 503, (013) J. McNeur, today Up to 300 MeV/m acceleration gradient was demonstrated
81 Motivation for THz-pulse-driven particle acceleration Disadvantages of short wavelength and short oscillation period of laser used for driving DLA: 1. small gap (400 nm) between dielectric grating small bunch charge and low throughput. different parts of the bunch see different field phases both acceleration and deceleration E. A. Peralta et al., Nature, 503, (013) times longer wavelength of THz pulses can solve both problem
