Abstract :
Summary form only given. Electro-optic (EO) sampling of infrared and THz fields produced by a free-electron laser (FEL) was performed with a ZnTe crystal probed by a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. The collinear FEL field and probe laser pulses were incident on the [110] face of a 0.5 mm thick crystal.
