Generation of radially-polarized terahertz pulses for coupling into coaxial waveguides
Coaxial waveguides exhibit no dispersion and therefore can serve as an ideal channel for transmission of broadband THz pulses. Implementation of THz coaxial waveguide systems however requires THz beams with radially-polarized distribution. We demonstrate the launching of THz pulses into coaxial waveguides using the effect of THz pulse generation at semiconductor surfaces. We find that the radia...
متن کاملEfficient generation of ultra-intense few-cycle radially polarized laser pulses.
We report on efficient generation of millijoule-level, kilohertz-repetition-rate few-cycle laser pulses with radial polarization by combining a gas-filled hollow-waveguide compression technique with a suitable polarization mode converter. Peak power levels >85 GW are routinely achieved, capable of reaching relativistic intensities >10(19) W/cm2 with carrier-envelope-phase control, by employin...
متن کاملGeneration of terahertz radiation from ionizing two-color laser pulses in Ar filled metallic hollow waveguides.
The generation of THz radiation from ionizing two-color femtosecond pulses propagating in metallic hollow waveguides filled with Ar is numerically studied. We observe a strong reshaping of the low-frequency part of the spectrum. More precisely, after several millimeters of propagation the spectrum is extended from hundreds of GHz up to approximately 150 THz. For longer propagation distances, ne...
متن کاملGeneration of Radially Polarized Beam for Laser Micromachining
A novel means of generating radially polarized light is reported in this paper. A birefringent plate was placed in a divergent or divergent portion of the laser beam for polarisation conversation. The influence of birefringent plate thickness on the purity and efficiency of radial beam conversion is studied qualitatively. This technique is robust, simple and cost effective for radial polarisati...
متن کاملTunneling of single-cycle terahertz pulses through waveguides
Propagation of single-cycle terahertz pulses through and past wavelength-sized metal structures has been studied experimentally. In waveguides close to cutoff, it is found that the phase velocity can become superluminal and even negative. Multiple reflections of evanescent waves inside the waveguide are found to be the cause of a negative phase velocity below the cutoff frequency. The centroid ...
