Abstract :
A new simple time-domain THz spectrometer based on a single-shot balanced detection of the electric field is presented. It allows for the recording of the full temporal THz profile at kHz acquisition rates. Its performances are demonstrated by measuring the fast drying process of acetone on Teflon.
