FIG. 3.
(a) Schematic of a THz polarimetry setup. (b) Projections of the electric field E→ leading to the measured signal S(ϕ). When a linearly-polarized THz radiation, with an electric-field amplitude E→0, is sent through the DSO crystal oriented at 45° with respect to the x-axis, the transmitted electric field E→ first projects along the polarizer direction (gray, double-sided arrow P) and then along the analyzer direction (gray, double-sided arrow A). ϕ is the rotation angle of the polarizer with respect to the x-axis. The resulting electric field amplitude is given by S(ϕ)=|E→(ϕ)|. (c) Simulated amplitude, S(ϕ), for the circularly-polarized (CP) light, linearly-polarized (LP) light along y-axis and elliptically polarized light (b/a=0.6).
