Single-shot electro-optic detection of 100+ ps THz pulses with sub ps resolution using diversity electro-optic sampling

Single-shot detection of THz electric field can be required for complete real time characterization of low repetition rate pulsed THz sources. Here, we present a single-shot detection electro-optic system designed to record long THz pulses (100+ ps) with sub ps resolution. To achieve this performance, the system exploits the Diversity Electro Optic Sampling scheme. This setup will be used to monitor shot by shot the long THz pulses (⪆ 100 ps) generated for an accelerator project.
