Description
Summary:We report on exploiting information and communications technologies to build reliable and durable terahertz diagnostics for electron accelerator-based light and laser sources. Terahertz and electro-optical diagnostics is an ideal tool to investigate short-bunch electron beams and their emitted photons with the potential to devise methods for controlled and tailored radiation emission. We investigate electro-optical modulators to evaluate their potential for laser-based diagnostics at accelerators, which can serve as building blocks in frequency combs, terahertz generation and detection systems. We built a frequency comb spanning at least 250 GHz with a pulse length of less than 3.7 ps.
