Abstract :
A comprehensive review of our experiments on generation of terahertz (THz) surface plasmons (SPs) performed at Novosibirsk free-electron laser lately is presented in the talk. Golay detector and an uncooled microbolometer focal plane array were applied for sensing and visualization of THz SPs in real time.
