High-power femtosecond-terahertz pulse induces a wound response in mouse skin
Terahertz (THz) technology has emerged for biomedical applications such as scanning, molecular spectroscopy, and medical imaging. Although a thorough assessment to predict potential concerns has to precede before practical utilization of THz source, the biological effect of THz radiation is not yet fully understood with scant related investigations. Here, we applied a femtosecond-terahertz (fs-...
متن کاملGeneration of terahertz-rate trains of femtosecond pulses by phase-only filtering.
We describe a simple linear filtering technique for transforming individual femtosecond light pulses into terahertzrepetition-rate bursts of femtosecond pulses. By using phase-only filtering, high efficiency is achieved. Pulse repetition rates approaching 6 THz are obtained.
متن کاملTerahertz radiation source in air based on bifilamentation of femtosecond laser pulses.
A new terahertz (THz) source in air based on the bifilamentation of femtosecond laser pulses is reported. This THz radiation is 1 order of magnitude more intense than the transition-Cherenkov THz emission from femtosecond laser filaments reported recently and shows different angular and polarization properties. We attribute it to the emission from a bimodal transmission line created by two plas...
متن کاملA Real-Time Terahertz Time-Domain Polarization Analyzer with 80-MHz Repetition-Rate Femtosecond Laser Pulses
We have developed a real-time terahertz time-domain polarization analyzer by using 80-MHz repetition-rate femtosecond laser pulses. Our technique is based on the spinning electro-optic sensor method, which we recently proposed and demonstrated by using a regenerative amplifier laser system; here we improve the detection scheme in order to be able to use it with a femtosecond laser oscillator wi...
متن کاملDirect characterization of terahertz radiation from the dynamics of the semiconductor surface field
We report on a time-resolved electro-optic sampling of the photocarrier-induced surface field dynamics by a midband gap probe beam from a femtosecond fiber laser. By measuring the ultrafast surface field variation, we are able to derive the undistorted terahertz wave form radiated from the semiconductor surface that is excited by the femtosecond laser pulses. The derived wave form agrees well w...
