Abstract

Electro-optic sampling (EOS) is a technique widely used to measure electric field waveform in ultra-broadband frequency range from terahertz (THz), mid- (MIR) [1], and near infrared (NIR) [2]. Since EOS signal depends on the relative orientations between probe, THz and crystal axis, the modulation of EOS signal upon crystal rotation provides polarization information of the infrared pulses [3, 4]. This so-called polarization-sensitive (PS-) EOS has an advantage that no additional polarization optics such as wire-grid polarizer is needed to measure polarization. In this talk we extend PS-EOS for the first time to the MIR region, wherein fruitful application possibilities such as vibrational circular dichroism [5] are expected.
