In this article, a novel method for measuring terahertz electric potentials across nanogaps using a combination of optical and terahertz pulse excitations is proposed. By controlling and manipulating terahertz tunneling charges, the function relationship between terahertz potential strength and spatial coordinates and time delays can be obtained. The results of this article provide valuable insights into the characteristics and performance of antennas.
Probing the time evolution of the terahertz electric field within subwavelength dimensions plays a crucial role in observing the nanoscale lightwave interactions with fundamental excitations in condensed-matter systems and in artificial structures, such as metamaterials. Here, we propose a novel probing method for measuring terahertz electric potentials across nanogaps using a combination of optical and terahertz pulse excitations. To achieve this, we employ ring-shaped nanogaps that enclose a metallic island, allowing us to capture tunneling charges when subjected to terahertz electromagnetic pulse illumination. By controlling and manipulating the terahertz tunneling charges through a focused optical gate pulse, we can obtain the terahertz potential strength as a function of spatial coordinates and time delays between pulses. To accurately quantify the time evolution of terahertz electric potential across quantum barriers, we carefully calibrate the recorded nonlinear tunneling current. Its on-resonance and off-resonance behaviors are also discussed, providing valuable insights into the antenna's characteristics and performance.
