Refined Sellmeier equations from phase-matching measurements over the complete transparency range of KTiOAsO4, RbTiOAsO4 and CsTiOAsO4
2000
Sum- and difference- frequency generation phasematching properties are measured in spheres of KTiOAsO4, RbTiOAsO4 and CsTiOAsO4 for Sellmeier equations refinement over their complete transparency range.
Modulating the polarization of broadband terahertz pulses from a spintronic emitter at rates up to 10 kHz
2021
Reliable modulation of terahertz electromagnetic waveforms is important for many applications. Here, we rapidly modulate the direction of the electric field of linearly polarized terahertz electromagnetic pulses with 1–30 THz bandwidth by applying time-dependent magnetic fields to a spintronic terahertz emitter. Polarity modulation of the terahertz field with more than 99% contrast at a rate of 10 kHz is achieved using a harmonic magnetic field. By adding a static magnetic field, we modulate the direction of the terahertz field between angles of, for instance, −53° and 53° at kilohertz rates. We believe our approach makes spintronic terahertz emitters a promising source for low-noise modula…
Phase-matching measurements and Sellmeier equations over the complete transparency range of KTiOAsO_4, RbTiOAsO_4, and CsTiOAsO_4
2000
The sphere method is used for the direct measurement of sum- and difference-frequency generation phase matched in the principal planes of KTiOAsO4, RbTiOAsO4, and CsTiOAsO4, including the tuning curves of 1.064-µm-pumped OPO’s emitting between 3 and 5 µm. The nonlinear least-squares fitting of our experimental data leads to refined dispersion equations of the principal refractive indices; the resulting dual-oscillator form equations are valid over the complete transparency range of the three studied materials.
