Abstract

Addressing the challenge of achieving high differential sensitivity in THz spectroscopy for spectroscopic analysis, this study evaluates the Terahertz Photomultiplier Tube (THz-PMT) in conjunction with an injection-seeded THz-wave parametric generator (is-TPG). Through two experimental setups, the performance of THz-PMT is contrasted with a pyro-electric detector, underscoring the benefits of THz-PMT's nonlinear response. The research further delves into the effectiveness of using a THz source and detector independently, offering insights into their potential for advancing THz spectroscopy applications.
