Subwavelength THz imaging of graphene photoconductivity

Using a spatially structured, optical pump pulse with a THz probe pulse, we are able to determine spatial variations of the ultrafast THz photoconductivity with sub-wavelength resolution (75 $\mu m \approx \lambda/5$ at 0.8 THz) in a planar graphene sample. We compare our results to Raman spectroscopy and correlate the existence of the spatial inhomogeneities between the two measurements. We find a strong correlation with inhomogeneity in electron density. This demonstrates the importance of eliminating inhomogeneities in doping density during CVD growth and fabrication for photoconductive devices.
