研究目的
Investigating the properties of the TeraFERMI beamline for THz non-linear and pump-probe studies, particularly focusing on the electro-optic-sampling set-up for characterizing THz electric field emission.
研究成果
The TeraFERMI beamline's THz emission is characterized by a combination of two main components originating from the ps-long electron bunch profile and a ~100 fs long high current spike, in agreement with previous electron beam dynamics studies. This finding is crucial for the interpretation of non-linear THz spectroscopy and pump-probe dynamics.
研究不足
The study is limited by the laser pulse duration and jitter in the electron bunch arrival time, which affect the measured electric field line-shape. Additionally, the velocity mismatch between THz and optical pulses in the ZnTe crystal and absorption from ZnTe itself due to its optical phonon may limit the detection of high frequency components.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilizes the TeraFERMI beamline at the FERMI free-electron-laser facility, employing electro-optic-sampling (EOS) to measure THz electric field profiles.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The THz pulses are generated using Coherent Transition Radiation (CTR) from relativistic electrons.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Includes a 1μm-thick Al membrane, a wedged diamond window, ZnTe crystal for EOS, and a femtosecond infrared fiber laser (MENLO C-Fiber 780).
4:0). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: THz pulses are polarized and attenuated before interaction with the sample, followed by EOS measurements to probe the time-resolved evolution of THz electric fields.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The electric field intensity is determined using standard relationships, and spectral analysis is performed to understand the emission properties.
