Abstract

We report the measurement of the dynamics of free-space electro-optic field sensors for pulsed electromagnetic wave radiation. With an optical probe power spanning six decades of linearity and excellent signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it is feasible to convert a far-infrared 2D image into an optical 2D image. A simple estimation indicates that 100 mW of optical probe power can achieve an image of 256×256 pixels with a 50 pA signal current per pixel and a SNR ≳200. We also present a comparison measurement of an ultrafast photoconductive antenna and an electro-optic sensor crystal.
