Abstract
We demonstrate a nondestructive probing technique to investigate the inner crystal domain structure of ferroelectric crystals by analyzing the teraher tz wave forms generated by optical rectification. Quantitative analysis of the domain structure has been performed for the domain width in periodicall y poled lithium niobate. Simulation results show that the terahertz wave fo rm analysis reproduces root-mean-square domain width fluctuations. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)02442-6].
