  • The nonlinear optical properties of gallium arsenide pertaining to terahertz generation

    Creator:
    Hurlbut, Walter C.
    Abstract:
    Gallium arsenide shows excellent promise for terahertz generation using mid infrared. This is for two reasons. First, the indices of refraction for the terahertz (nTHz=3.61 at 1 THz) and mid infrared (nopt=3.431 at 2 μm) are close allowing a long interaction length. Second, the linear absorption is low at terahertz...

  • Generation and manipulation of THz waves

    Creator:
    Amer, Naaman
    Abstract:
    In this thesis I studied several THz components that can be used for potential THz technology. THz waves were generated in nonlinear medium via optical rectification of femtosecond optical pulses. Utilizing the phase matching condition between the optical and THz waves in a ZnTe crystal, single-cycle broad-band THz pulses were...
