A wideband coherent terahertz spectroscopy system using optical rectification and electro-optic sampling
We present a scheme for exploiting the nonresonant second-order nonlinearities in electro-optic media to extend the bandwidth of coherent spectroscopy in the far-infrared using ultrafast laser pulses. Using optical rectification and electro-optic sampling in ^110& ZnTe for the generation and coherent detection of freely propagating THz radiation, respectively, we have demonstrated spectral sens...
متن کاملWideband THz Time Domain Spectroscopy based on Optical Rectification and Electro-Optic Sampling
We present an analytical model describing the full electromagnetic propagation in a THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system, from the THz pulses via Optical Rectification to the detection via Electro Optic-Sampling. While several investigations deal singularly with the many elements that constitute a THz-TDS, in our work we pay particular attention to the modelling of the time-frequency b...
متن کاملAerosol Deposition on Transparent Electro-Optic Films for Optical Modulators
Complex thin oxide films with electro-optic (EO) properties are promising for use in advanced optical devices because of their large EO effect. We developed a method of aerosol deposition (AD) for fabricating EO films. The mechanism for AD is based on the solidification by impact of submicron particles onto a substrate. Since particles in AD films preserve their crystalline structure during the...
متن کاملPicosecond Optical Pulse Generation Using Cascaded Mach-zehnder Electro-optic Light Intensity Modulators
In this paper, the author proposes a technique for the generation of picosecond optical pulses using cascaded Mach-Zehnder electrooptic light intensity modulators. Each individual Mach-Zehnder modulator is driven by the same microwave signal. By providing proper dc bias to the modulators, the repetition frequency of the generated optical pulse can be made equal to twice the frequency of the app...
متن کاملNanophotonic lithium niobate electro-optic modulators.
Since the emergence of optical fiber communications, lithium niobate (LN) has been the material of choice for electro-optic modulators, featuring high data bandwidth and excellent signal fidelity. Conventional LN modulators however are bulky, expensive and power hungry, and cannot meet the growing demand in modern optical data links. Chip-scale, highly integrated, LN modulators could offer solu...
