Abstract :
We demonstrate ultrafast temporal slicing of phase-locked multi-THz pulses using a photoinduced electron-hole plasma in germanium. This approach enables us to extract single-cycle transients with a peak electric field of 10 MV/cm from a multi-cycle waveform at a carrier frequency of 24 THz.
