A wideband THz Time Domain Spectroscopy table-top system based on ultrafast pulsed laser: Model and experiments
2014
We present an analytical model carefully describing the time-frequency behavior of all the stages composing our whole Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy laser based system, from the THz pulses generation via Optical Rectification, to their detection through Electro-Optic Sampling technique, by way of diffraction, collecting and focusing effects. In order to prove the effectiveness of our work, we report on the comparison among the experimental waveforms and the simulation results.
Wideband THz time domain spectroscopy based on optical rectification and electro-optic sampling
2013
We present an analytical model describing the full electromagnetic propagation in a THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) system, from the THz pulses via Optical Rectification to the detection via Electro Optic-Sampling. While several investigations deal singularly with the many elements that constitute a THz-TDS, in our work we pay particular attention to the modelling of the time-frequency behaviour of all the stages which compose the experimental set-up. Therefore, our model considers the following main aspects: (i) pump beam focusing into the generation crystal; (ii) phase-matching inside both the generation and detection crystals; (iii) chromatic dispersion and absorption inside the c…

Analytical Model for wideband THz sources and detectors based on Optical Rectification and Electro-Optic Sampling
2013
An analytical model describing a laser based set-up for wideband THz generation and detection is presented. Particular attention is focused on the main broadband phenomena, which occur when THz radiations have to be handled.
Generation of broadband THz transients via metallic spintronic emitters driven by 20-fs pulses at 1030 nm
2020
We explore power and bandwidth scaling for the generation of highly-temporally-confined THz transients from spintronic emitters, driven by the 250-fs and 20-fs pulses of a high-power 28-MHz Yb-based laser, spectrally centered at 1030 nm.
Space-time features of THz emission from optical rectification in sub-wavelength areas
2011
We present our investigation on the THz space-time emission characteristic induced by the non-paraxial generation regime in highly localized THz generation via optical rectification on sub-wavelength areas.
Contrôle de nano-antennes optiques par une commande électrique : tuner plasmonique et transduction
2011
Optical nano-antennae are the new class of components to control light/matterinteraction at the nanoscale. These devices are operating in the visible to near infraredpart of the spectrum. The properties of these nano objects are controlled by theform, the size and the material.In the radio frequency domain, the tuner changes dynamically the operatingwavelength of the antenna. In this thesis work, we search to transfer this conceptto the nanoscale. The principle is to change the load impedance of the antenna, i.e.changing the optical index of the dielectric medium around the nano-object. Forthat we used anisotropic liquid cristal molecules. The value of the optical index iscontrolled by appl…
Triple excitation effects in coupled-cluster calculations of frequency-dependent hyperpolarizabilities
1998
Abstract We describe an implementation of an analytic scheme for the calculation of static and dynamical first hyperpolarizabilities at the CC3 level in the framework of coupled-cluster response theory. Calculations are reported for the static, the second harmonic generation, and the optical rectification hyperpolarizabilities of FH. The results indicate the importance of triple excitation effects for accurate theoretical predictions of hyperpolarizabilities and lend further support to previous contentions that an experimental value for the second harmonic generation hyperpolarizabilities of FH should be reconsidered.
Time-Domain Integration of Terahertz pulses
2021
We report on the time-domain integration of terahertz pulses obtained via the tight confinement of the radiation in a tapered two-wire waveguide. Both simulation and experimental results prove the time integration capability of this structure.
