Tunable terahertz radiation from Stark wave packets.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the possibility that Stark wave packets can be used as a source of shaped terahertz radiation. Calculations for the sodium atom reveal that the frequency and intensity of the THz emission can be controlled over a broad range by varying the parameters of the excitation pulse.

Dual-band, Dynamically Tunable Plasmonic Metamaterial Absorbers Based on Graphene for Terahertz Frequencies
In this paper, a compact plasmonic metamaterial absorber for terahertz frequencies is proposed and simulated. The absorber is based on metamaterial graphene structures, and benefits from dynamically controllable properties of graphene. Through patterning graphene layers, plasmonic resonances are tailored to provide a dual band as well as an improved bandwidth absorption. Unit cell of the design...
متن کاملDesign of a continuous-wave tunable terahertz source using waveguide-phase-matched GaAs.
A novel source of continuous-wave terahertz radiation based on difference frequency generation (DFG) in GaAs crystal is proposed. Phase matching is provided using integration of appropriate optical and terahertz waveguides based on dispersive properties of GaAs. The output frequency can be tuned between 0-3.5 THz by tuning the incident wavelengths in the range of 1.5-1.6 microm.

In this paper, a procedure for analyzing and designing of tunable wideband band-pass and band-stop graphene based filters in the terahertz band is proposed. These planar wideband plasmonic filters are unique in their kind. With this procedure, it is possible to design filters with the desired functional characteristics in the form of the similar quarter-wavelength resonance stubs. The discontin...
متن کاملGeneration of tunable continuous-wave terahertz radiation by photomixing the signal waves of a dual-crystal optical parametric oscillator
We present a continuous-wave dual-crystal optical parametric oscillator that generates signal waves of about 1.4μmwavelength with a tunable difference frequency 1ν between 0.64 and 5.3 THz. A model of the parametric gain in such a system indicates that the lowest reachable value for 1ν depends on the refractive index dispersion of the nonlinear material used. As a proof of principle, we demonst...
متن کاملHigh-power source of THz radiation based on orientation-patterned GaAs pumped by a fiber laser.
We demonstrate a new source of frequency-tunable THz wave packets based on parametric down-conversion process in orientation-patterned GaAs (OP-GaAs) that produces muW-level THz average powers at the repetition rate of 100 MHz. The OP-GaAs crystal is pumped by a compact all-fiber femtosecond laser operating at the wavelength of 2 mum. Such combination of fiber laser and OP-GaAs technologies pro...
