3 Abstract Quantifying Terahertz fields using Electro-Optical sampling. TOM GEORGE ( San Jose State University, San Jose, Ca 95112) ALAN FRY and MATTHIAS HOFFMANN(Linac Coherent Light Source, SLAC, Menlo Park, Ca 94025) The pump-probe technique is an easy and common way to look into the state of a material after it has been hit with a Terahertz or any other pulse. An electro-optic sample is pumped with a Terahertz pulse and soon afterwards is probed by another laser pulse. This pumped induced probe goes through birefringence as it goes through the electro-optic sample. Two photodiodes, which receive their sample clock from the laser, capture the energy of each laser pulse and sends it to a data acquisition card for easy processing. This method allows for detection of very small pump-probe signals with relatively the same accuracy as a lock-in amplifier. 3
4 Introduction Terahertz(THz) signals exist in an area called the THz gap which lies between the infrared and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum. Discovered over 100 years ago [1] research was relatively stagnant due to the unavailability of sources to produce powerful enough THz signals. However with the advent of femtosecond lasers and sources such as the Free Electron Laser (FEL), production of powerful THz signals has been possible. Research in Terahertz time domain spectroscopy has revealed interesting phenomena in materials when used in molecular to astronomic studies [1]. THz pulses have a wide variety of uses which range from medical, scientific, and even security. What make Terahertz signals perfect for many applications is its non-ionizing properties. It can pass through objects such as clothing, wood, paper, plastics, etc but cannot pass through water or metal [5]. This could be an alternative to screeners with it s ability to not only detect illegal materials such as narcotics and explosives, such as C4, but to also provide sub x- ray like images without the harmful radiation. Applications in the future can include detection of explosives and medical imaging. This is all possible with Terahertz spectroscopy since many materials give off distinct spectra when hit with Terahertz signals [3]. Reliable Terahertz generating sources have just sprung up in the last few decades. One way to generate Terahertz signals is to use ultra-short pulses using a Titanium-Sapphire laser, producing pulse durations of 80fs, using a process called optical rectification [4]. In optical rectification, an ultrashort laser pulse goes through a crystal, such as lithium niobate, which 4
5 produces terahertz pulses [4]. When the ultrashort laser pulse is sent through a specific crystal, the quick change in polarization creates terahertz radiation [4]. To characterize the electric field of a THz pulse, after it goes through a certain sample, electro-optic sampling is used. After the THz pulse has been generated it will go through an electro-optic crystal which becomes birefringent while the THz pulse is present [4]. The birefringence of the crystal causes a linearly polarized probe pulse that travels through the crystal at the same speed of the THz pulse to become elliptically polarized [4]. The elliplicity can be measured by splitting the two polarization components with a polarizer, and by sending them to two photodiodes for processing. The known electro-optic coefficient of the detection crystal can be used to determine the field strength of the THz signal from the difference in the detected photo diode signals. The photodiodes convert the polarization components of the probe femtosecond laser pulse into an electrical signal, typically a voltage pulse of a few hundred mv with a duration of about 100ns. The amount of light incident on the photodiode is proportional to either the area under voltage pulse curve or find its peak. Normally all of this is done using a lock-in amplifier but because of how a lock-in amplifier manipulates its data, this can take an excessive amount of time to receive an output. To get around this problem we have used a data acquisition card (DAQ) which can easily measure the energy of every pulse and through simple arithmetic, E =!!!, plot the data.!!! 5
6 Materials and Methods Using a DAQ systems provides advantages in terms of quantification speed and versatility. The laser used is a 1kHz Ti: Sapphire with a wavelength of 800nm, a pulse energy of 3.5mj and a pulse duration of 80fs [2]. This laser is split by a beam splitter into a probe pulse and another beam that goes into a THz signal generator. The pulse that was sent to the THz signal generator, passes through an optical modulator that runs at 500Hz which blocks every other pulse. The pulses that did make it through went through a lithium niobate crystal which produced the Terahertz signals as shown in Figure 1. This signal is then sent to an electro-optic detection crystal which becomes birefringent while the THz pulse is present. The probe pulse on the other hand is sent to a delay stage which delays the pulse by moving the stage back and forth, depending on the desired time delay, before it goes through an electro-optic(eo) crystal that has been excited by a THz pulse. The delay stage, as shown in Figure 2, is used to probe the EO sample over time by moving it backwards or forwards, depending on the case, after every sample. To capture the energy of the Terahertz through the EO crystal we use two photodiodes. Two THORLABS DET100A photodiodes, shown in Figure 3, are used to capture the probe pulse polarization components after interacting with the THz inside the EO crystal. The sample clock of the DAQ card was taken from the Ti: Sapphire laser, meaning every pulse from the laser is measured. The voltage pulses from the two photodiodes have a pulse decay of 80ns which decays before the next pulse arrives. From this point there are various ways to capture the data. A few ways are to use a lock-in amplifier, a current preamplifier with a box-car integrator, or use 6
7 a sample and hold circuit/integrator circuit. Since we were trying to find a better method than the lock-in amplifier the best choice would have been to use a current preamplifier which would then go into a boxcar integrator to give us the energy of each pulse. This would have been the easiest method to implement but also carries along with it the highest cost at around $15, 000 for the setup. A cheaper alternative is to use a sample and hold circuit which increases the time-base of the signal, making if easier for the DAQ card to sample at its peak and capture the data. The DAQ card we used was a National Instruments NI-6251, which has a maximum sampling rate of 1.25 ms/s at 16 bit resolution. Results and Discussion The data acquired from the photodiodes were processed in LabVIEW, shown in Figure 4. LabVIEW allows you to create virtual instruments called VIs which can be used to control and obtain data from various sources. Since we were using a DAQ card on a Windows machine we were able to take advantage of the DAQmx function which makes data acquisition using an NI DAQ extremely easy. The DAQmx function allows you to set where your signal is coming from, triggering, and sampling all in one place. Two of these functions were used to capture the data from the DAQ card for further use. With my limited time and the features I still had to implement, I decided to try and modify a VI that was currently being used to capture the energy of Terahertz signals but was doing so using a lock-in amplifier. I was able to accomplish this by simply removing parts of the code where information was being sent to the lock-in amplifier and initializing it. After doing this I found where the data was being taken from the lock-in amplifier and replaced it with two 7
8 DAQmx functions to collect data from each photodiode. The rest of the code took care of data manipulation, graph output, saving, etc To capture the signals at the right time requires the use of a sample and hold circuit. What the sample and hold circuit does is, when triggered, it holds the signal by stretching its time base and having the signal decay over that amount of time, meaning it slows down the pulse. It is made so that the signal decays right before the next pulse comes in. We created the circuit in with only a resistor, a mosfet, and a capacitor. When the pulse from the photodiode is sent to the sample and hold circuit, it first goes through the resistor which slows the pulse before entering the capacitor. This is to prevent the capacitor from being quickly charged with a large spike of voltage that could potentially damage and limit its uses. Before the pulse enters the capacitor, however, it first goes through the mosfet which is triggered by using the laser as a sample clock. Conclusion Using a DAQ system to capture Terahertz signals is a versatile and viable option to perform pump-probe measurements. By setting the DAQ card and photodiodes to sample at the rate of the laser, we were able to measure every Terahertz pulse that was sent through the EO crystal. This gave us a sharp image of the THz field.
