A time-resolved measurement of the THz radiation emitted from a laser-driven electron bunch crossing the plasma-vacuum boundary of a gas jet was performed. We re-imaged the THz radiation from the gas jet into a ZnTe crystal, which exhibits a large Pockels effect. The time-dependent polarisation caused by the THz fields in the crystal rotates the polarisation state of a stretched, chirped probe laser pulse passing simultaneously through the same crystal, acting as a fast optical shutter. The probe pulse is subsequently analysed in a spectrometer or a cross-correlated with a second, short probe pulse to reconstruct the time structure of the THz pulse. We will discuss the results obtained from both methods and discuss mechanisms for the THz generation. This will also give allow to put an upper limit for the duration of the electron bunch.
