Schematic layout (plan view) of the TeraFERMI refocusing section for the pump–probe pilot experiment. The THz beam is focused while being filtered and polarized. Then it is split into two beams: one for the on-line measurement of the I0 (with a dedicated mirror, Par2) and one that will be used as a pump pulse. This pulse is focused close to the diffraction limit by another focusing mirror (Par3). The beam is then refocused (Par4) into a pyro-detector which measures the radiation transmitted by the sample. |
