摘要：

A low-complexity terahertz optical asymmetric demultiplexer-based optical sampler with simple data postprocessing for subpicosecond pulse shape characterization is proposed. Comparisons with commercial instruments demonstrate the accuracy of the implemented scheme reproducing optical pulses with a resolution of few hundreds of femtoseconds. Nevertheless, the proposed technique allows us to go down to femtosecond accuracy, slightly increasing the data postprocessing complexity. A further validation of the proposed optical sampler is numerically provided.
