Abstract :
We present a fiber-based 2-port THz electro-optic sampling system at 1.55 mum wavelength. Frequency components are extended up to 2 THz and the dynamic range is larger than 40 dB regardless of the direction of the electromagnetic wave propagating in the waveguide. The symmetrical 2-port pigtailed electro-optic probe allows to determine the direction of propagation of the guided picosecond electromagnetic pulses.
