Giant tunable Faraday effect in a semiconductor magneto-plasma for broadband terahertz polarization optics.
We report on a giant Faraday effect in an electron plasma in n-InSb probed via polarization-resolved terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy. Polarization rotation angles and ellipticities reach as large as π/2 and 1, respectively, over a wide frequency range (0.3-2.5 THz) at magnetic fields of a few Tesla. The experimental results together with theoretical simulations show its promising abili...
متن کاملInterference-induced terahertz transparency in a semiconductor magneto-plasma
Maximum modulation of light transmission occurs when an opaque medium is suddenly made transparent. This phenomenon occurs in atomic and molecular gases through different mechanisms1,2, whereas much room remains for further studies in solids3–5. A plasma is an illustrative system showing opacity for low-frequency light, and light–plasma interaction theory provides a universal framework to descr...
متن کاملFreely tunable broadband polarization rotator for terahertz waves.
A freely tunable polarization rotator for broadband terahertz waves is demonstrated using a three-rotating-layer metallic grating structure, which can conveniently rotate the polarization of a linearly polarized terahertz wave to any desired direction with nearly perfect conversion efficiency. This low-cost, high-efficiency, and freely tunable device has potential applications as material analy...
متن کاملGiant superfluorescent bursts from a semiconductor magneto-plasma
Superradiance—the cooperative decay of excited dipoles—has recently been discussed in a diverse range of contexts in which coherent coupling of constituent particles governs their cooperative dynamics: cavity quantum electrodynamics, quantum phase transitions and plasmonics. Here we observe intense, delayed bursts of coherent radiation from a photo-excited semiconductor and interpret it as supe...
