Quasi-half-cycle terahertz pulse generation via optical rectification in quantum wells using shaped optical pulses.
It is shown that optical rectification in biased quantum wells using specially shaped optical pulses can be used to generate quasi-half-cycle THz electromagnetic pulses. Namely, we investigate THz generation by pulses incorporating a rapid pi phase shift. We further explore the potential of this scheme for high-repetition-rate quasi-half-cycle THz pulse generation.
متن کاملHigh Field, High Efficiency Terahertz Pulse Generation by Optical Rectification
The great difficulty of producing high intensity radiation in the terahertz (THz) spectral region by conventional electronics has stimulated interest in development of sources based on photonics. Optical rectification in lithium niobate is an attractive approach, because it supports high generation efficiencies, uses low cost, bulk LN crystals, and is powered by common Yb-doped lasers at wavele...
متن کاملSpectroscopy of terahertz radiation using high- Q photonic crystal microcavities
We report observation of high-Q resonance in the photoresponse of a detector embedded in the 2D photonic crystal slab (PCS) microcavity illuminated by terahertz radiation. The detector and PCS are fabricated from a single GaAs wafer in a unified process. The influence of the period of PCS lattice, microcavity geometry, and detector location on the resonant photoresponse is studied. The resonanc...

متن کاملHigh-contrast all-optical bistable switching in photonic crystal microcavities
We present a bistable photonic crystal configuration consisting of a waveguide sided coupled to a single-mode cavity with instantaneous Kerr nonlinearity. We show that such a configuration can generate extremely high contrast between the bistable states in its transmission with low input power. We also provide an analytic theory that can completely account for the entire transient switching dyn...
