A new method based on a chirped optical pulse interferogram has been proposed to measure terahertz radiation. The frequency domain phase information of the interferogram is used to extract the time-domain terahertz pulse waveform. In principle, the resolution of our method can be as high as the unchirped probe pulse duration, with the advantages of relatively simple measurement setup and signal extracting techniques.
