There is an increasing need for techniques allowing a whole Terahertz spectrum (or a electric field time-evolution) to be recorded at each shot of a pulsed source. We review here the principles and performances of the recently introduced DEOS single-shot Time-Domain Spectroscopy method [1]. A key point of DEOS is a novel conceptual approach of a classic electro-optic detection method, that uses chirped laser pulse probes. This novel point of view led to a new type of design that allows a numerical reconstruction of the input THz signal, from a single-shot measurement, with unprecedented bandwidth and time-resolution. We present here the theoretical framework, experimental tests, as well as numerical investigations aiming at exploring the bandwidth and resolution limits of DEOS.
