Terahertz radiation from a nonlinear slab traversed by an optical pulse.

چکیده
We report on the theoretical calculations considering collinear electromagnetic radiation at the propagation of an optical pulse through a slab of nonlinear material. Calculated waveforms of the radiated field fit well to the experimental dependencies showing the remarkable similarities between the radiation at nonlinear wave interaction and the radiation phenomena of moving external charges, similarly to discussed in the Tamm Problem and transition radiation of moving external charges.

Introduction: The generation of terahertz (THz) frequency radiation (0.1-10 THz) is becoming an important technological goal due to the use of this non-ionizing radiation to penetrate a wide range of non-conducting materials giving rise to applications ranging from biological imaging to detect tumors [1], to non-destructive identification of illicit drugs hidden in mail envelopes [2], to the id...
متن کاملGeneration and spectral manipulation of coherent terahertz radiation with two-stage optical rectification.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate the generation of single-cycle terahertz radiation with two-stage optical rectification in GaSe crystals. By adjusting the time delay between the pump pulses employed to excite the two stages, the terahertz radiation from the second GaSe crystal can constructively superpose with the terahertz field injected from the first stage. The high mutual coherenc...
متن کاملEnhancement of narrow-band terahertz radiation from photoconducting antennas by optical pulse shaping.
We report the use of optical pulse shaping to convert single femtosecond pulses into lower-intensity pulse sequences for excitation of photoconductive dipole antennas, which results in the generation of bursts of tunable narrow-band free-space terahertz radiation. Our experiments demonstrate that the use of such pulse sequences can significantly enhance the spectral amplitude of the narrow-band...
