THz streaking spectroscopy for mapping the transformation from far-fields to nanostructure near-fields — •Felix Sommer and Georg Herink — Physikalisches Institut EP VIII, Universität Bayreuth

Field-driven experiments at the nanoscale require the precise characterization of local ultrafast transients. We apply THz near-field streaking spectroscopy [1,2] to metallic nanotips to map the enhanced near-field at the apex.

The local waveforms are critical to various emerging ultrafast instruments for nanoscopic imaging and spectroscopy. The transformation of focused far-fields to nanoscale near-fields sensitively depends on either the individual nano- and macroscopic geometry and structure, involving effects of antenna resonances, plasmon excitations and excitation geometries [3,4]. In order to study the THz-response in the time-domain, we developed an optimized near-field streaking setup based on a strong-field THz source and present experimental data on the THz-waveform transformation.
