Early prediction of THz technology
…“Get to the point man. What did you discover?”
“Ah me, these excitable, highly strung Nordic races!” sighed Duval. “What we did was to make a type of low-powered radar set. Besides radiowaves of very high frequency, it used far infrared – all waves, in fact, which we were sure no creature could possibly see, however weird an eye it had.”
…“We’ve proved that there is a large room behind that screen of yours. The screen is about three centimetres thick, and the space behind is at least ten meters across. We couldn’t detect any echo from the far wall, but we hardly expected to with the low power which was all we dared to use. However, we did get this.”
He pushed across a piece of photographic paper on which was a single wavy line. In one spot was a kink like the autograph of a mild earthquake.
“See that little kink?”“Yes, what is it?”“Only Karellen [the alien creature] […] If the resolution had been a bit better, we might even have calculated his size.”

Simultaneous data acquisition
• ”Normal” THz time-domain spectroscopy– record reference data set (”sample OUT”, or ”optical pump OFF”)– then record sample data set (”sample IN”, or ”optical pump ON”)
• Alternative scheme for time-resolved pump-probe measurements:– Record reference and sample data simultaneously– minimizes influence of drift, power fluctuation, pointing stability issues, etc.
