contents We employed sodium mesitylene sulfonate crystals to investigate angle-dependent phonon resonance and thickness-dependent splitting in THz time-domain polarimetry. This crystal possesses a C2 space group, leading to a repetition pattern after 180deg rotations. Our experimental observations revealed intriguing behaviour: We observed a non-linear response when varying the angle from 10deg to 360deg in both 0.182mm and 1.266mm thick crystals. specifically, at 90deg and 270deg, dip resonance occurred, while at 180deg and 360deg, no phonon resonance was observed. For thick crystals, we observed the splitting of phonon modes. Our findings offer valuable insights into the phononic properties of this crystal as the angle varies.
