Modifying the polarization state of terahertz radiation using anisotropic twin-domains in LaAlO₃.

چکیده
Polarization-resolved terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy was utilized to examine the complex refractive index of lanthanum aluminate (LaAlO3), a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite that exhibits crystallographic twin domains. The uniaxial anisotropy of the refractive index was quantified. The ellipticity of THz radiation pulses after transmission through single domains indicated that LaAlO3 can be used as a quarter- or half-wave plate. The effective anisotropy of [001]-oriented LaAlO3 was found to be reduced when the material exhibited multiple, narrow twin domains.

Anisotropic two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (110) interface
The observation of a high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas between two insulating complex oxides, especially LaAlO₃/SrTiO₃, has enhanced the potential of oxides for electronics. The occurrence of this conductivity is believed to be driven by polarization discontinuity, leading to an electronic reconstruction. In this scenario, the crystal orientation has an important role and no conductivi...
متن کاملBianisotropic response of microfabricated metamaterials in the terahertz region
Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy was used to investigate the bianisotropic response of microfabricated split-ring resonators (SRRs) and the in-plane SRR–wire metamaterials. We observed a strong polarization dependence of the transmission with a polarized incident terahertz electromagnetic wave. Two transmission minima, one from the bianisotropic contribution and the other from the anisotropic...
متن کاملReview of Anisotropic Terahertz Material Response
Anisotropy is ubiquitous in solids and enhanced in low-dimensional materials. In response to an electromagnetic wave, anisotropic absorptive and refractive properties result in dichroic and birefringent optical phenomena both in the linear and nonlinear optics regimes. Such material properties have led to a diverse array of useful polarization components in the visible and near-infrared, but ma...
متن کاملThree-Contact Photoconductive Antenna for Polarization Detection of THz Radiation
For polarization measurement of terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation we conventionally have been using a set of wire-grid polarizers. In the THz time domain spectroscopy (TDS) measurements, such a method requires twice of the time-delay scans, which is time consuming and can be the origin of the systematic error caused by the intensity fluctuation of laser. In addition, the efficiency of a...
متن کاملManipulating polarization states of terahertz radiation using metamaterials
We present a double-ring-chain metamaterial that enables efficient polarization conversion of terahertz waves. The experimental results and numerical simulations reveal that the linear-to-linear polarization rotation and linear-to-elliptic polarization transformation are simply accomplished by altering the dimensional parameters of the metamaterial unit cells. The polarization state conversion ...
