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...
