    Area of Science:

    • Terahertz (THz) science and technology
    • Optical physics
    • Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Traditional THz electro-optic sampling methods have limitations in noise cancellation, optical modulation, and dynamical range.
    • Existing techniques like near 0° and 45° optical biases offer partial solutions but not optimal performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified THz electro-optic sampling method that integrates the advantages of existing techniques.
    • To achieve excellent background noise cancellation, high optical modulation, and an expanded dynamical range.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified THz electro-optic sampling setup with a symmetrical layout for dynamical noise cancellation.
    • Utilizing a pair of opposite numbers to set static birefringent phases of two balanced beams.
    • Recording THz waveforms with maximal modulation depth and optimal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

    Main Results:

    • The modified method achieves dynamical noise cancellation through its symmetrical design.
    • Maximal modulation depth ensures THz waveforms are recorded without distortion, leading to optimal SNR.
    • The system demonstrates a significantly enlarged linear dynamical range by decoupling signal linearity from static birefringence.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel THz electro-optic sampling method successfully combines key advantages of traditional approaches.
    • The technique offers superior performance, achieving over 10 times higher SNR compared to the 'crossed and balanced' design without requiring a lock-in amplifier.
