Abstract :
We present an electro-optic method for single-shot spatio-temporal THz waveform-mapping which avoids distortions associated with spectral encoding and retains the benefits of nonlinear cross-correlation but using linear detection. THz waveforms from laser-plasma accelerator are reconstructed.
