[IEEE 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Paris, France (2019.9.1-2019.9.6)] 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Generation of a Few Cycle Terahertz Pulse in Aperiodically Poled Lithium Niobate by Sequence of Pump Pulses

摘要： It is shown that chirped aperiodically poled lithium niobate crystal is capable to generate powerful THz pulses with controllable number of THz field oscillations (from nearly single- to multi-cycles), when it is pumped by sequence of femtosecond laser pulses with chirped delays between adjacent pulses. The peak electric field strength of about 0.3 MV/cm (for non-focused THz beam) is predicted if intensity of each pump pulse in the sequence is 20 GW/cm2.
