Shock-wave generation during rear- and front-side ablation of calcite
Shock waves generated by rear- and front-side infrared (= 1.064 µm) laser irradiation of calcite were measured using time-resolved surface-plasmon resonance spectroscopy. The shock waves generat...

We report on the coherent detection of ultra-broadband mid-infrared electromagnetic pulses using a 30-µm-thick ZnTe electro-optic sensor. The detected frequency spectrum exceeds 37 THz, extending from microwave to the mid-infrared. The frequency response can be further improved by reducing the sensor thickness to 10 µm. ©1997 American Institute of Physics.
