Highly efficient narrowband terahertz generation driven by a two-spectral-line laser in PPLN

H. T. Olgun, W. Tian, G. Cirmi +7

We demonstrate record conversion efficiencies of up to 0.9 percent for narrowband (1 percent relative bandwidth) THz generation by strongly-cascaded difference frequency generation…

Raman Shifting induced by Cascaded Quadratic Nonlinearities for Terahertz Generation

Koustuban Ravi, Franz X. Kärtner

We introduce a new regime of cascaded quadratic nonlinearities which result in a continuous red shift of the optical pump, analogous to a Raman shifting process rather than self-ph…

Terahertz-induced cascaded interactions between spectra offset by large frequencies

Koustuban Ravi, Franz X. Kärtner

We explore the dynamics of a system where input spectra in the optical domain with very disparate center frequencies are strongly coupled via highly phase-matched, cascaded second-…

Analysis of terahertz generation using tilted-pulse-fronts

Koustuban Ravi, Franz X. Kärtner

A 2-D spatio-temporal analysis of terahertz generation by optical rectification of tilted-pulse-fronts is presented. Closed form expressions of terahertz transients and spectra in…

Terahertz generation by beamlet superposition

Koustuban Ravi, Benjamin Ofori-Okai, Keith A. Nelson +1

We analytically show how a superposition of beamlets produces terahertz radiation with greater spatial homogeneity and efficiency compared to tilted-pulse-fronts generated by diffr…

High Efficiency Terahertz Generation in a Multi-Stage System

Lu Wang, Arya Fallahi, Koustuban Ravi +1

We describe a robust system for laser-driven narrowband terahertz generation with high conversion efficiency in periodically poled Lithium Niobate (PPLN). In the multi-stage terahe…
