Abstract

Generation of efficient terahertz (THz) pulses was experimentally made by tilted pump pulse front scheme with a Mg-doped LiNbO3 crystal. In this study, a spitfire laser (Ti:sapphire laser, 800 nm, 3 mJ, 1 kHz) was used as an optical source for the generation and detection of THz pulses. The electro-optic (EO) detection optics consisting of a ZnTe crystal (1 mm in thickness) and a balanced photodetector was used. To obtain optimum THz characteristics and pump to THz power conversion efficiency, the image of the grating was made coincides with the tilted pump pulse front. The maximum THz electric field of 8.5 kV/cm and the frequency bandwidth of 2.5 THz were achieved by using pump pulse energy of 2.4 mJ and pump pulse width of 100 fs. The THz energy of 4.15 μJ was obtained and pump-to-THz conversion efficiency was estimated to be approximately 1.73 x 10-3.

Abstract

We present concurrent measurement of sample and reference terahertz waveforms for an optical-pump terahertz-probe spectrometer, using a controlled optical diaphragm shutter for the optical pump line. When waveforms are taken consecutively, laser power fluctuations and other experimental conditions can introduce spectral artefacts, thus a concurrent measurement is preferred. Instead of techniques based on double modulation, the use of the diaphragm shutter eliminates the need for a second lock-in amplifier and/or constricted alignment due to the use of a single chopper blade for modulating two signals, simultaneously. Drude fitting of the complex conductivity obtained for GaAs confirms that measurements obtained using our set-up agree with reported scattering times.
