Fast detector for a wide wavelength range

more »

Free-electron lasers are extremely versatile research tools because their intense, super short light flashes permit a closer look at new materials and even biological molecules; thus, allowing effects to be observed that had not been known previously. For pulsed lasers in the far infrared range, the so-called terahertz range, scientists have developed a robust and fast detector which can measure the arrival of a terahertz pulse with great accuracy.
