17 THz Continuous - Wave Optical Modulator
نویسنده
چکیده
We use coherently rotating hydrogen molecules and demonstrate a continuous-wave (CW) optical modulator at a frequency of 17.6 THz that can modulate any laser within the optical region of the spectrum. The molecules are prepared in a coherent state by using two intense laser beams spaced by the Raman transition frequency inside a high finesse cavity. PACS numbers: 42.65.Dr, 42.65.Re, 42.50.Gy

Continuous-Wave Molecular Modulation Using a High-Finesse Cavity
We demonstrate an optical modulator at a frequency of 90 THz that has the capability to modulate any laser beam in the optical region of the spectrum. The modulator is constructed by placing deuterium molecules inside a high-finesse cavity and driving a vibrational transition with two continuous-wave laser beams. The two beams, the pump and the Stokes, are resonant with the cavity. The high int...
متن کاملContinuous-wave phase-matched molecular optical modulator
In optical modulation, the highest available modulation rate is basically limited to the GHz frequency range at best. This is because optical modulation is often performed using electro-optic or acousto-optic effects that require application of an external signal to solid-state nonlinear optical materials. Here we describe optical modulation of continuous-wave radiation at frequencies exceeding...
متن کاملHigh - efficiency broadband THz wave modulator
We report a high efficiency, broadband terahertz (THz) modulator following a study of phthalocyanine-compound organic films irradiated with an external excitation laser. Both transmission and reflection modulations of each organic/silicon bilayers were measured using THz time-domain and continuous-wave systems. For very low intensities, the experimental results show that AlClPc/Si can achieve a...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Millimeter- and Terahertz-Wave Imaging Based on Optical Coherence Tomography
Three dimensional (3D) terahertz (THz) imaging or THz tomography has recently proven to be useful for non-destructive testing of industrial materials and structures. In place of previous imaging techniques such as THz pulse or continuous wave (CW) radar, we propose a THz optical coherence tomography (OCT) using frequency-swept THz sources, and demonstrate 3D imaging. In addition, we further app...
متن کاملTunable magnetoplasmons for efficient terahertz modulator and isolator by gated monolayer graphene.
Terahertz (THz) technology has been a promising tool for sensing, spectroscopy, imaging, and communication. However, only few devices have shown efficient performance for future THz technology. Herein, we propose a device based on tunable magnetoplasmons in gated monolayer graphene for THz wave modulation and isolation. The relative transmission and the Faraday rotation angle of the device have...
