Performance analysis of tabletop single-pulse terahertz detection at rates up to 1.1 MHz
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Standard terahertz time-domain spectroscopy uses a relatively slow multidata acquisition process that has hindered the technique's ability to resolve ``fast'' dynamics occurring on the microsecond timescale. This timescale, inaccessible to most ultrafast pump-probe techniques, hosts a range of phenomena that has been left unexplored due to a lack of proper real-time monitoring techniques. In this work, chirped-pulse spectral encoding, a photonic time-stretch technique, and high-speed electronics are used to demonstrate time-resolved terahertz detection at a rate up to 1.1 MHz. This configuration relies on a tabletop optical source and a setup able to resolve every terahertz transient generated by the same source. We investigate the performance of this single-pulse terahertz detection system at different acquisition rates in terms of experimental noise, dynamic range, and signal-to-noise ratio. Our results pave the way towards single-pulse terahertz time-domain spectroscopy at arbitrarily fast rates to monitor complex dynamics in real time.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
