摘要
We demonstrate time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy inside a novel parallel plate waveguide where one of the metallic plates is replaced by a transparent conducting oxide. Considerable improvements to the waveguide loss coefficient are shown, with a power absorption coefficient of 4 cm(-1) at 0.5 THz. The time resolution of the technique is shown to be limited by the spatial excitation profile, which for sharply focused beams can approach similar to 1 ps time scales.
