Dr. Stefano Benci working on the THz set-up present at LENS.
In our THz-TDS set-up the femtosecond laser pulses (about 20 fesc) generate picosecond THz pulses by the conversion in a photo-conductive antenna . The THz pulses are characterized by broad frequency band spanning from 0.1 to 5 THz ( 3.3 cm-1 to 165 cm-1). The THz detector is a second photo-coductive antenna switch which is fed with an optical pulse trigger coming from the same excitation laser source. The temporal shape of the broadband THz wave is then measured in femtosecond time-resolution by an optical delay line provided by a motorized stage. By Fourier-transformation of the time-domain data, the terahertz spectra is obtained .
