  • Patent number: 8446656
    Abstract: A method for generating two delayed pulses, in particular in terahertz spectroscopy and/or in pump-probe experiments, with the following method steps: generating a pulsed beam using a beam source, in particular a pulsed laser; dividing the pulsed beam, where a first partial beam contains a first pulse and a second partial beam contains a second pulse; directing the two pulses onto a respective target area, the first pulse directly reaching a first target area and the second pulse reaches a second target area after covering a delay path, and the two target areas may coincide; using the two pulses, in particular for a measuring method, where a time delay of the two pulses in the respective target area is adjustable by a pulse repetition rate of the pulsed beam.
