Robust asynchronous optical sampling terahertz spectroscopy using commercially available free-running lasers

Optics 2025-05-29 v1

Abstract

This study presents asynchronous optical sampling (ASOPS) terahertz spectroscopy using commercially available Ti:Sapphire lasers without stabilizing repetition frequency. Our postprocessing algorithm using the multiplied repetition frequency difference as the calibration signal successfully corrected the jitter, thereby allowing broadband (2.5 THz) spectroscopy with a high spectral resolution (82 MHz). The robustness of the jitter correction based on the free-running laser setup and broadband electric circuits was rigorously examined under varying temperatures, thereby demonstrating reliable long-term operations over 60 h. This study expands the applicability of the ASOPS terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.
