High-energy terahertz pulses from organic crystals: DAST and DSTMS pumped at Ti:sapphire wavelength.
نویسندگان
چکیده
High-energy terahertz pulses are produced by optical rectification (OR) in organic crystals 4-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST) and 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate (DSTMS) by a Ti:sapphire amplifier system with 0.8 μm central wavelength. The simple scheme provides broadband spectra between 1 and 5 THz, when pumped by a collimated 60 fs near-IR pump pulse, and it is scalable in energy. Fluence-dependent conversion efficiency and damage threshold are reported, as well as optimized OR at visible wavelengths.

Generation of High Efficient Quasi-Single-Cycle 3 and 6THZ Pulses using Multilayer Structures OH1/SiO2 and DSTMS/SiO2
We propose that high efficient terahertz (THz) multilayer structures are composed of DSTMS/SiO2 and OH1/SiO2 at 3 and 6THz frequencies. We show that the efficiencies of these structures are higher than DAST/SiO2 structure in both of 3 and 6THz frequencies. OH1/SiO2 structure at 6THz has an efficiency as large as 10-1; at 3THz frequency, DSTMS/SiO2 structure has an efficiency as large as 10-...

متن کاملEfficient noncollinear parametric amplification of weak femtosecond pulses in the visible and near-infrared spectral range.
We report measurement of efficient amplification of weak femtosecond supercontinuum seed pulses by use of a noncollinear optical parametric process in BBO crystal pumped with 150-fs pulses from a frequency-doubled regenerative-amplified Ti:sapphire laser at 390nm . The highest amplification factor, 10(8) , was achieved for 3x10(-16)J energy seed pulses at wavelength of 560nm.
متن کاملHigh-energy two-cycle pulses at 3.2 μm by a broadband-pumped dual-chirped optical parametric amplification.
A design for efficient generation of mid-infrared pulses at 3.2 μm is presented, which is based on numerical simulations of the broadband-pumped dual-chirped optical parametric amplification (DC-OPA) in LiNbO3 doped with 5 mol.% MgO (MgO:LiNbO3). The broadband seed can be generated by difference frequency generation in KTA using spectrally-broadened Ti:Sapphire lasers. The...
