We investigate the interaction between terahertz waves and resonant antennas with sub-cycle temporal and lambda/100 spatial resolution. Depositing antennas on a LiNbO3 waveguide enables non-invasive electro-optic imaging, quantitative field characterization, and direct measurement of field enhancement (up to 40-fold). The spectral response is determined over a bandwidth spanning from DC across multiple resonances, and distinct behavior is observed in the near-and far-field. The scaling of enhancement and resonant frequency with gap size and antenna length agrees well with simulations. (C) 2012 Optical Society of America
