Abstract :
Experimentally characterizing actual micron sized sheet beams is essential to the development of terahertz sheet beam guns and devices. We have tested a terahertz sheet beam gun and produced 3D electron beam density plots. The terahertz sheet beam analyzer was designed to automatically collect high resolution scan data using LabVIEW software. The collected data were plotted to show the electron current density profile and size of the sheet beam.
