 Terahertz field-induced second harmonic generation (TFISH) is a technique for optical detection of broad-band THz fields. We show that by placing an iris at the interaction volume of the THz and optical fields, the TFISH signal increases by few ten-fold in atmospheric air. The iris-assisted TFISH amplification is characterized at varying air pressures and probe intensities and provides an elegant platform for studying nonlinear phase-matching in the gas phase.
