Researchers have developed a new technique to better measure special "terahertz" light. This light travels in waves longer than the infrared light that is ...

However, using this new electro-optic sampling method in combination with modeling tools, these imperfections can be measured and used in the design of new optics to correct the terahertz shape. This will require scientists to learn more about the characteristics and behavior of terahertz light. The technique allows researchers to measure the shape of terahertz "light bullets," focused flashes of light that are as wide as they are long.
