Abstract
We present a brief review of the use of nonlinear optics for broadband terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy with femtosecond laser pulses. The generation of THz pulses is accomplished by optical rectification and coherent detection by electro-optic sampling or field-induced second-harmonic generation. The approach permits exceptional time response, as well as the possibility for multichannel detection schemes.
