Observation of supercurrent distribution in YBa2Cu3O72d thin films using THz radiation excited with femtosecond laser pulses
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have demonstrated that the supercurrent distribution in current-biased YBa2Cu3O72d thin films can be obtained by measuring the radiation power of THz electromagnetic pulses excited with femtosecond laser pulses. As the radiation power is proportional to the square of the bias current density at the laser spot position, the two-dimensional current distribution can be obtained from the intensity distribution of THz radiation by scanning the laser spot. The characteristic supercurrent distribution is analyzed by using the critical-state model. © 1999 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~99!04609-4#

Time Domain Spectroscopy of Terahertz Radiation from Argon Clusters Irradiated by Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses
The electromagnetic wave ranging from the millimeter wave to gamma ray is radiated from plasmas produced by irradiating solid and gas targets with high intensity optical pulses. The THz wave radiation from the plasmas produced by femtosecond laser pulses has been intensively studied by many groups [1-3] these few years since it is one of the promising intense THz radiation sources. Solid THz em...
متن کاملTerahertz radiation source in air based on bifilamentation of femtosecond laser pulses.
A new terahertz (THz) source in air based on the bifilamentation of femtosecond laser pulses is reported. This THz radiation is 1 order of magnitude more intense than the transition-Cherenkov THz emission from femtosecond laser filaments reported recently and shows different angular and polarization properties. We attribute it to the emission from a bimodal transmission line created by two plas...
متن کاملCoherent single-cycle pulses with MV/cm field strengths from a relativistic transition radiation light source.
Terahertz (THz) pulses with energies up to 100 μJ and corresponding electric fields up to 1 MV/cm were generated by coherent transition radiation from 500 MeV electron bunches at the free-electron laser Freie-Elektronen-Laser in Hamburg (FLASH). The pulses were characterized in the time domain by electro-optical sampling by a synchronized femtosecond laser with jitter of less than 100 fs. High ...
متن کاملTerahertz emission from YBa2Cu3O7Àd thin films via bulk electric-quadrupole–magnetic-dipole optical rectification
We report the observation of terahertz emission from YBa2Cu3O72d thin films excited by 1.5-eV, 150-fs pulses in the absence of external electric or magnetic fields. This emission is characterized for optimally doped d50 films and underdoped d50.5 films, over a range of temperatures T, 4 K,T,300 K, where the films change from superconductors to correlated metals. It exhibits a pronounced 4f depe...
متن کاملCoherent Synthesis of Terahertz Radiation from Femtosecond Laser Filaments in Air
we report on the coherent synthesis of pulsed Terahertz radiation from femtosecond laser filaments organized in an array. The Terahertz intensity is proportional to the square of the number of the filaments, which provides a simple method for scaling up of the Terahertz energy with powerful femtosecond laser. Moreover, directional off-axis terahertz radiation can be achieved. This paves the way...
