Ultra-rapid electro-optic sampling of midinfrared pulses centered at 9 μm has been demonstrated, showcasing high spectral intensity dynamic range and precision. The technique, utilizing mirror scanning with sonotrode resonance, shows promise in applications such as molecular fingerprinting and tracking of biological processes and chemical reactions.
We demonstrate ultra-rapid electro-optic sampling (EOS) of octave-spanning midinfrared pulses centered at 9 mu m, implemented by mechanically scanning a mirror with a sonotrode resonating at 19 kHz (forward and backward acquisition at 38 kHz). The instrument records the infrared waveform with a spectral intensity dynamic range of 1.6 x 10(5) for a single scan over a 1.6-ps delay range, acquired within 26 mu s. The purely reflective nature of the delay scanning technique is compatible with broad optical bandwidths, short pulse durations (16 fs, centered at 1030 nm) and high average powers (Watt-level). Interferometric tracking of the sonotrode motion in combination with a predictor-corrector algorithm allows for delay-axis determination with down to single-digit attosecond precision. Ultra-rapid mid-infrared EOS will advance applications such as molecular fingerprinting of static samples as well as tracking of biological processes and chemical reactions and is likely to find new fields of application such as infrared-spectroscopic flow cytometry.
