Electro-optic sampling (EOS) has become a highly versatile, widespread technique capable of performing measurements of optical waves with sensitivity to their oscillating electric field (rather than the cycle-averaged intensity). First demonstrated for free-space terahertz waves thirty decades ago, EOS has recently been extended all the way to the visible spectral region. Importantly, in the mid-infrared…
