Far-infrared second-harmonic generation and pulse characterization with the organic salt DAST.

چکیده
We generated the second harmonics of pulses in the far-infrared region (30-55 microm), using the organic salt dimethylamino-4-N-methylstilbazolium tosylate (DAST). We demonstrate that DAST can be used to characterize ultrashort pulses in a spectral region where no other materials are available. To illustrate the need for such characterizations, we show the effects of propagation through air on the shape of ultrashort far-infrared pulses.

Far-infrared properties of DAST.
Using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy, we have measured the index of refraction and the absorption coefficient of the organic ionic salt 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4?-N?-methyl-stilbazolium tosylate (DAST). This promising organic electro-optic material exhibits strong absorption and dispersion for frequencies above 1 THz at both room temperature and 83 K. No reduction in the absorption strength is...
متن کاملGeneration of 1.5-octave intense infrared pulses by nonlinear interactions in DAST crystal
Infrared pulses with large spectral width extending from 1.2 to 3.4 μm are generated in the organic crystal DAST (4-N, N-dimethylamino-4′-N′-methylstilbazolium tosylate). The input pulse has a central wavelength of 1.5 μm and 65 fs duration. With 2.8 mJ input energy we obtained up to 700 μJ in the broadened spectrum. The output can be easily scaled up in energy by increasing the crystal size to...
متن کاملTime Frequency Analysis of Higher Harmonic Generation in a Three Color Laser Pulse
high harmonic generation is a useful tool for the generation of short, intense attosecond pulses. In order to simulate high harmonic generation, we performed a numerical solution to the time dependent Schrödinger equation. by considering dipole approximation, we predicted generation of a 53 attosecond pulse. In order to see the time and frequency of emission of attosecond pulse, we exploit...
متن کاملOptical properties of DAST in the THz range.
We report the far-infrared properties of the organic crystal DAST, a popular terahertz emitter, from 0.6-12 THz through use of a THz spectrometer incorporating air-plasma THz generation and electro-optic (EO) sampling in a poled EO polymer. We identify absorption features at 1.1, 3.1, 5.2, 7.1, 8.4, 11, and 12.3 THz and at 1.1, 1.3, 1.6, 2.2, 3, 5.2, 7.2, 9.6 and 11.7 THz for a-axis and b-axis ...
متن کاملCharacterization of femtosecond pulses via transverse second-harmonic generation in random nonlinear media
We study, both experimentally and theoretically, the process of second-harmonic generation by two noncollinear beams in ferroelectric crystals with a disordered distribution of ferroelectric domains. We show that this parametric process results in generation of second-harmonic wave in the direction transverse to the propagation of the fundamental beam. We demonstrate how this effect can be used...
