Single-shot terahertz imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
The appropriate timing for imaging an object was discovered for a half-cycle terahertz (THz) pulse generated from a large-aperture photoconductive antenna. Two-dimensional THz imaging with single-shot detection was conducted. This enables observation of ultrafast phenomena at a frame rate of 1000 frames/s. ©2003 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (320.7120) Ultrafast phenomena; (110.2970) Image detection systems

Non-scanning systems for far-infrared radiation detection from laser-induced plasmas
With the development of ultraintense terawatt (TW) and petawatt (PW) laser systems, powerful terahertz (THz) radiation from laser–plasma interactions has been reported. Plasma-based THz systems, which are usually operated at extremely low repetition rates, call for single-shot diagnostics. In this paper, various state-of-the-art single-shot detection methods are introduced or designed for measu...
متن کاملSingle-shot and single-sensor high/super-resolution microwave imaging based on metasurface
Real-time high-resolution (including super-resolution) imaging with low-cost hardware is a long sought-after goal in various imaging applications. Here, we propose broadband single-shot and single-sensor high-/super-resolution imaging by using a spatio-temporal dispersive metasurface and an imaging reconstruction algorithm. The metasurface with spatio-temporal dispersive property ensures the fe...
متن کاملTerahertz substance imaging by waveform shaping.
Terahertz pulse shaping technique is used to adaptively design terahertz waveforms of enhanced spectral correlation to particular materials among a given set of materials. In a proof-of-principle experiment performed with a two-dimensional image target consisted of meta-materials of distinctive resonance frequencies, the as-designed waveforms are used to demonstrate terahertz substance imaging....
متن کاملHigh-temporal-resolution, single-shot characterization of terahertz pulses.
A technique for noncollinear cross correlation of electro-optic modulated optical pulses is presented for the single-shot characterization of terahertz waveforms and is compared to established electro-optic terahertz characterization methods. This technique is free from the limitations on time resolution and faithful reproduction of previously demonstrated single-shot amplitude modulation spect...
متن کاملA Single-shot Terahertz Time-domain Spectroscopy Instrument for Intense Laser System
A single-shot terahertz time-domain spectroscopy method is developed using an echelon-pair. Terahertz waveform is encoded to a beamlets array by electro-optic effect, with a total time window of 37.7 ps and a time step of 94.3 fs. Comparing with spectral encoding methods, this technique directly encodes terahertz waveform to spatial resolution, which is more suited as a terahertz diagnosis for ...
