Single-Shot Electro-Optic Measurement of Mid-Infrared Pulses

High-field terahertz (THz) wave is a powerful tool for investigating ultrafast dynamics such as the motion of electrons, the vibration of crystal lattices, the precession of spin, etc. In this letter, we demonstrate the generation of intense single-cycle THz pulses from an organic crystal DSTMS (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl–stilbazolium 2,4,6–trimethylbenzenesulfonate) via optical rectification. The generated THz field is characterized by single-shot electro-optic sampling with a linearly chirped probe beam. Meanwhile, the spectrum of the infrared pump is broadened to an octave which supports a 1.9-cycle pulse duration. The proposed scheme displays a sophisticated platform of efficient high-field THz generation, single-shot THz measurement, and a broadband mid-infrared source which is naturally synchronized with the THz pulses.

Particle acceleration driven by a high power Ti: sapphire laser has invoked great interest worldwide because of the ultrahigh acceleration gradient. For the aspect of electron acceleration, electron beams with energies over GeV have been generated using the laser wakefield acceleration mechanism. For the optimization of the electron generation process, real-time electron parameter monitors are necessary. One of the key parameters of a high energy particle beam is the temporal distribution, which is closely related with the timing resolution in a pump-probe application. Here, we introduced the electro-optic sampling method to laser wakefield acceleration. Real-time multibunch structures were observed. Careful calculations on the physical processes of signal generation in an electro-optic crystal were performed. Discussions of the methodology are elaborated in detail.
