摘要
We describe a new experimental setup capable of measuring structural dynamics following intense terahertz excitation. This system, developed at the SLAC Accelerator Structure Test Area facility, uses a high-energy ultrafast laser to produce intense terahertz pulses and femtosecond electron bunches that are accelerated to mega-electron-volt kinetic energies. The focused terahertz pulses have electric fields in excess of 600 kV/cm, and the resulting structural dynamics can be followed by electron diffraction. We also present some examples demonstrating its implementation where interactions between the THz pulses and the electron bunch are used to characterize the spatial and temporal characteristics of the THz field.
