چکیده
In this article, enhancement of THz radiation was studied using pulse shaping thchnique. Over 40% enhance was demonstrated by positive chirped optical pulses. This could be attributed to the pump-dump process in excitation.

Optical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
متن کاملNovel sources and detectors for coherent tunable narrow-band terahertz radiation in free space
A novel scheme for the optical generation and coherent detection of tunable narrow-band far-infrared radiation in free space is described. This technique involves the optical heterodyning of two linearly chirped broadband pulses to produce a quasi-sinusoidal intensity modulation at tunable terahertz frequencies. The frequency content of the narrow-band terahertz radiation produced by mixing chi...

In this paper, based on the coupled-mode and carrier rate equations, a dynamic model and numerical analysis of a multi quantum well (MQW) chirped distributed feedback semiconductor optical amplifier (DFB-SOA) all-optical flip-flop is precisely derived. We have analyzed the effects of strains of QW and MQW and cross phase modulation (XPM) on the dynamic response, and rise and fall times of the ...

We describe the use of mixing linearly chirped optical pulses in biased photoconductors to generate tunable narrow-band terahertz (THz) radiation with enhanced spectral brightness. The increase in conversion efficiency from optical to THz radiation at a given THz frequency arises from the improved saturation characteristics of the photoconductor for chirped-pulse mixing compared with the usual ...

We report on terahertz (THz) measurements with graphene field-effect transistors with integrated antennas (Tera-FETs) and lay special emphasis on thermoelectric contributions to the detected THz photoresponse. Graphene Tera-FETs with integrated broad-band bowtie antennas were fabricated in a CVD-based growth process and were successfully applied for detection at 600 GHz with optical NEPs down t...
