Terahertz single shot up-conversion detection of pulse train

Terahertz (THz) waves are a type of radiation located between micro-waves and infrared light. This radiation possess both the qualities of micro-waves passing through walls and infrared which can be used to image an object.
In the current project of the student, electro-optic sampling (EOs) method is used to detect THz pulse’s phase in reflexion imaging. Another potential method could be with parametric detection with electro-optic crystals, which could be much more sensitive than the conventional method and solve multiple encountered issues. One of the world’s expert in parametric detection is the professor Kawase in Nagoya university. This internship will allow the student to learn every aspects of parametric detection and generation methods to link potential industrial application in Canada.
