Electro-Optical determination of the Spectral Characteristics of components for THz-based Plasma Diagnostic

Since long time THz-TDS techniques have been seen as a good option for the measurements of plasma parameters [1]. This becomes a particularly interesting option for nuclear fusion experiments where Far Infrared and microwave diagnostics, in the frequency range 0.1-4000 THz, are one of the most important measurement tool [2] [3]. The application of THz-TDS techniques can potentially provide important plasma parameters, such as density, temperature and fluctuations, by using a multi-functional device with relatively small access requirements [4].
