Enhanced terahertz-to-infrared(THz-to-IR)emission from gas-surrounded nanostructured metal films as a result of femtosecond laser irradiation is systematically investigated using selected gases. The dependencies of the THz-to-IR power on the gas species, gas pressure, and pump optical power are studied for Ar, N2, Ne, and He. The experimental results reveal that the power of the THz-to-IR emission...
A review of the detection of pulsed terahertz waves via field-induced second harmonic generation in gaseous media is presented. The effects of the DC bias field strength, probe pulse energy, nonlinear susceptibility of the gases, gas pressure, and focusing conditions of the terahertz and optical beams are discussed. A Figure-of-merit, which characterizes the sensitivity of gases media, is introduced.
We present recent results on experimental measurements and theoretical simulations for terahertz wave generation (quantum mechanical simulation) and detection (four-wave-mixing) with ambient air and selected gases. We demonstrate standoff terahertz wave generation for potential applications of terahertz air photonics in remote sensing and identification.
A device for phase and polarization control of omega (800 nm) and its second harmonic 2 omega (400 nm) beams is presented for intense THz generation from laser-induced gas plasma in gas cells. Long-term stability is achieved using an in-line design with a quartz wedge pair and alpha-BBO birefringent plates for phase control and a dual wavelength waveplate to align the polarization of omega and 2 omega...
Terahertz generation from gaseous media was further investigated by a gas jet system. The experimental results reveal that the terahertz radiation amplitude is correlated with the third order nonlinear susceptibility.
