Seminar Announcement Date: Monday July 6, 11:00 Speaker: Prof. Dr. Masahiko Tani, Director of the "Research Center for Development of Far-Infrared Region" at the University of Fukui (FIR-FU) in Japan and head of the "Terahertz Science Research Group" Prof. Dr. Masahiko Tani is one of the pioneers in EO sampling, THz time-domain spectroscopy, THz photomixers, and applications of THz radiation. For detection of terahertz (THz) electro-magnetic pulses, electro-optic (EO) sampling is a commonly used technique. However, available sampling wavelengths and EO crystals are limited by the velocity mismatch between the sampling optical pulse and THz pulse propagating in the EO crystal. In this paper, it is explained that how such limitations are alleviated by using the non-collinear Cherenkov-phase-matching, with which we can select an arbitrary sampling wavelength and an EO crystal for detection of THz pulses. It is shown that the Cherenkov-phase-matching scheme has been successfully applied to ferroelectric crystals (LiNbO3 and BaTiO3) and that an efficient EO sampling of THz pulses is possible with these ferroelectric crystals. This EO sampling technique might be useful also for evaluation of electron beam bunching profiles. Announcement: http://www.intl.kit.edu/download/2015-07-06-Announcement-Seminar-ProfTani_HIRST.pdf
