Temperature Dependence of Microwave and THz Dielectric Response in Srn + 1TinO3n + 1 (n = 1–4)

The microwave, near-millimetre and infrared (IR) dielectric response of Sr_{n + 1}Ti_nO_{3n + 1} (n = 1–4) Ruddlesden-Popper homologous series was studied in the temperature range 10 to 300 K. Remarkable softening of the polar optical mode was observed in Sr₄Ti₃O₁₀ and Sr₅Ti₄O₁₃ which explains the increase in microwave permittivity and dielectric loss upon cooling. However, both samples have a distinct content of SrTiO₃ dispersed between SrO layers. It is proposed therefore that the observed soft mode originates from the SrTiO₃ microscopic inclusions.

High field broadband THz generation in organic materials

Organic salt crystals, e.g. DAST, OH1, and DSTMS, pumped by ultra-short infrared laser are efficient THz emitters. We review our latest results on the generation in organic crystals of THz single-cycle transients with field strength of 1.5?MV/cm. The energy conversion reaches 2% with photon conversion efficiency up to 200%. THz radiation produced in such crystals offers excellent beam propagation properties and can be focused down to diffraction limited spot size in order to realize the highest field. This source covers the full spectral range between 0.1 and 10?THz. Further, we discuss the possibility to control the absolute phase and the polarity of the THz field.     

New mechanism for THz oscillation of the nonlinear refractive index in air: particle-like solutions

We describe a generalized nonlinear envelope equation governing the propagation of optical pulses, with superbroad spectrum, in air. The corresponding modified nonlinear term in the equation oscillates with terahertz frequency. The fluctuation is due to the group and phase velocity difference. In the partial case of femtosecond pulses that have a power slightly above that which is critical for self-focusing, an exact 3D + 1 particle-like solution is found.     

Monte Carlo simulation of 2D TASER

A possibility to develop the so called TASER (Terahertz-Amplification-by-the-Stimulated-Emission-of- Radiation) by using two-dimensional (2D) electron transport in quantum well (QW) structures is investigated by Monte Carlo simulation of the optical-phonon-emission assisted transit-time resonance (OPTTR) of 2D electrons in momentum space under the low lattice temperature. A considerable extension of the frequency region for THz radiation generation (upto 5 times) when going from 3D- to 2D-case is predicted.     

基于超快激光技术的THz波产生和探测

主要介绍利用超快激光技术产生和探测THz波辐射。THz波探测方法包括电光取样和空气探测。电光取样利用光学电光效应,采用探测激光偏振态的改变得到THz电场时域波形,广泛应用在TDS系统中。空气探测方法利用激光在空气中的三阶非线性效应,可以测得THz时域波形,并且该方法没有晶体的限制,因此可以探测频谱较宽的THz脉冲。产生THz的方法主要包括光电导天线、光学Dember效应、光整流和激光等离子体。其中前三者受到材料本征声子的影响,产生的THz谱宽有一定限制。倾斜激光脉冲波前入射非线性晶体光整流可以产生很强的THz波。双色飞秒激光脉冲与空气等离子体作用,可以产生较强的宽谱THz辐射,并且其谱宽与激光脉冲宽度密切相关。
