Intense terahertz radiation and their applications
In this paper, we will review both past and recent progresses in the generation, detection and application of intense terahertz (THz) radiation. We will restrict the review to laser based intense few-cycle THz sources, and thus will not include sources such as synchrotron-based or narrowband sources. We will first review the various methods used for generating intense THz radiation, including p...
متن کاملOrganic Broadband Terahertz Sources and Sensors
We review recent research using organic materials for generation and detection of broadband terahertz radiation (0.3 THz−30 THz). The main focus is on amorphous electrooptic (EO) polymers, with semiconducting polymers, molecular salt EO crystals, and molecular solutions briefly discussed. The advantages of amorphous EO polymers over other materials for broadband THz generation (via optical rect...
متن کاملGeneration of Terahertz Radiation via Nonlinear Optical Methods
There is presently considerable research activity in the development of the new sources in the terahertz(THz) region of the spectrum. Over the past two to three years, many new techniques were developed for generating especially short or especially powerful pulses. New techniques also allow single shot detection of the THz pulse field as well as realtime and near-field imaging. Recent experimen...
متن کاملA 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 کاملInfluence of pump wavelength and crystal length on the phase matching of optical rectification
We present measurements on terahertz generation by optical rectification, in which both the thickness of the generation crystal and the wavelength of the generating optical pulse are varied. The difference between the group velocity at optical frequencies and the phase velocity at terahertz frequencies affects the time trace and spectrum of the generated terahertz pulse. For the thickest crysta...
