| contents | We provide a comprehensive technical analysis of the data acquisition process with oscillating delay lines for Terahertz-time domain spectroscopy. The utilization of these rapid stages, particularly in high-repetition-rate systems, is known to enable an effective reduction of noise content through averaging. However, caution must be exercised to optimize the data averaging process, with the goal of significantly optimizing the dynamic range (DR) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Here we discuss some pitfalls to avoid and the effect of improper data handling on the dynamic range obtainable. A free and open-source program, called parrot (Processing All Rapidly & Reliably Obtained THz-traces), is provided alongside this publication to overcome the discussed pitfalls and facilitate the acceleration of experimental setups and data analysis, thereby enhancing signal fidelity and reproducibility. |
