Journal ArticleDOI

Highly precise determination of optical constants and sample thickness in terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

TL;DR: This method could be applied to any material with moderate absorption and requires only two measurements of the temporal profile of the terahertz pulses: a reference one without the sample and one transmitted through the sample.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of noise on the characterization of materials by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the contribution of various error sources to uncertainty in the far-infrared optical constants (refractive index and absorption coefficient) measured by terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy is analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optical rectification at metal surfaces.

TL;DR: Experimental observation of freely propagating pulses of terahertz radiation produced by optical rectification of femtosecond pulses at metal surfaces opens a qualitatively new way of investigation of nonlinear phenomena atMetal surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Study of terahertz radiation generated by optical rectification on thin gold films.

TL;DR: The experiments reveal that the emitted terahertz field is suppressed for a thickness below 100 nm, which gives evidence of the nonlocal character of the response.
