Generation and detection of terahertz radiation with multilayered electro-optic polymer films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use optical rectification and electro-optic sensing to generate and detect terahertz radiation, using individual and multilayered stacks of electro-optic polymer films. For comparable thickness, the polymer films are more efficient generators and detectors of terahertz radiation than ZnTe crystals.

Electro-optic Coefficient Measurement of the Double Electro-Optic Molecules Polymer based on Terahertz Application
In the terahertz (THz) science research field, electro-optic (EO) polymer possesses many superior characters compared with mineral crystal. Two kinds of the side group EO polymer, polyphosphazene with plmaol grained by 2, 4-dinitroaniline and polyphenylacrylate containing p-nitro bisazo group, are synthesized and characterized. For higher EO coefficient, the double EO molecules polymer thin fil...
متن کاملModeling a broadband terahertz system based on an electro-optic polymer emitter–sensor pair
We present a model for a broadband terahertz (THz) system that employs electro-optic (EO) polymer films for THz generation via optical rectification and THz detection using EO sampling. In this model, we take the laser spectral bandwidth, pulse distortion, and the material properties of the EO medium into consideration, at both the generation and detection sites, and investigate the roles they ...
متن کاملComparison of parallel-plate and in-plane poled polymer films for terahertz sensing.
We have performed calculations and measurements of the efficacy of two poling geometries of poled electro-optic (EO) polymer films for use in sensing terahertz (THz) radiation via EO sampling. Taking reflective and absorptive losses into consideration, we find that a parallel-plate (PP) poled film has a sensitivity maximum when oriented at 55 degrees to the incident probe and THz beams. In addi...

We report the demonstration of two-dimensional electro-optic imaging using continuous-wave THz radiation. Two single-frequency laser diodes serve as the optical source for both the generation and detection processes. The generation process occurs by mixing in a photoconductive emitter, while the detection process utilizes an electro-optic crystal and charge coupled device camera. The method per...
متن کاملBroadband and gap-free response of a terahertz system based on a poled polymer emitter-sensor pair
We present a terahertz THz system based on a poled electro-optic EO polymer emitter-sensor pair for the generation and detection of broadband electromagnetic pulses free of spectral gaps. The gap-free THz spectrum obtained from the system is attributed to the amorphous form of the EO polymer films. Using 50-fs laser pulses centered at 800 nm, a 100m thick emitter, and a 180m thick sensor, the o...
