Abstract

We previously developed a new terahertz (THz) wave detection method that utilizes the effect of nonlinear optical (NLO) polymers. The new method provided us with a gapless detection, a wide detection bandwidth, and a simpler optical geometry in the THz wave detection. In this paper, polarization dependences in THz wave detection by the Stark effect were investigated. The projection model was employed to analyze the polarization dependences and the consistency with experiments was observed qualitatively, surely supporting the use of the first-order Stark effect in this method. The relations between THz wave detection by the Stark effect and Stark spectroscopy or electroabsorption spectroscopy are also discussed.
