Predicting THz Generation Capability of Organic Crystals through Data Mining and Crystal Nonlinearity Models

Sin Hang Ho, Ashton Roma, Connor Barlow +5

We report the use of DFT computation and mathematical models to predict the nonlinear dielectric polarization (P^{NL}) and nonlinear susceptibility coefficients (χ^{(2)}_{IJK}) of…

Ultrafast Faraday Rotation Probe of Chiral Phonon-Polaritons in LiNbO3

Megan F. Biggs, Sin-hang, Ho +4

Time reversal symmetry breaking motion of chiral phonon-polaritons in LiNbO3 is probed via the ultrafast Faraday effect. By combining a pair of perpendicularly polarized THz pulses…

A new standard in high-field terahertz generation: the organic nonlinear optical crystal PNPA

Claire Rader, Zachary B. Zaccardi, Sin Hang +6

We report the full characterization of a new organic nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal for intense THz generation: PNPA ((E)-4-((4-nitrobenzylidene)amino)-N-phenylaniline). We discus…

Data Mining for Terahertz Generation Crystals

Gabriel A. Valdivia-Berroeta, Zachary B. Zaccardi, Sydney K. F. Pettit +13

We demonstrate a data mining approach to discover and develop new organic nonlinear optical crystals that produce intense pulses of terahertz radiation. We mine the Cambridge Struc…
