contents We present a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system which accesses a broadband spectrum, efficiently covering the so-called "new THz gap" between 5 and 15 THz and extending beyond 25 THz. The system exploits nonlinear interactions within the organic crystal BNA (N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline) to generate and detect THz radiation upon excitation by a near-infrared (NIR) pulse centered at 1.03 $μ$m. To enable broadband THz spectral monitoring, the NIR pulse from a Yb-based solid-state laser undergoes spectral broadening in a gas-filled single-ring hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, followed by a pulse compression to achieve durations as short as 31 fs. This approach paves the way for broadband spectroscopy in hard-to-access THz regions using widely available near-infrared ultrafast sources.
