摘要

摘要: 为了获得与掺镱飞秒脉冲激光匹配的高效太赫兹(THz)发射源, 本文根据相位匹配原理, 并结合DAST晶体多声子共振吸收, 模拟了掺镱飞秒激光脉冲激发DAST晶体后获得的THz频谱. 通过与CdTe、GaP等电光晶体比较后发现: 当三种晶体厚度都为0.1 mm时, DAST晶体可以获得12 THz带宽的发射频谱, 超过CdTe的3.5 THz和GaP的6.4 THz; 同时, 其最大发射强度超过CdTe和GaP的10倍以上. 因此, DAST晶体能够成为与掺镱飞秒激光匹配的高效THz发\linebreak 射源.

Abstract: We investigate the feasibility to generate broadband THz efficiently from the DAST crystal excited by anYttrium-doped femtosecond pulse laser. Taking account of the phase matching condition and the impact of THz absorption, we simulated the THz emission spectra of DAST, CdTe as well as GaP crystals excited at 1.03 $\mu $m. Given a fixed thickness of 0.1 mm, the DAST achieves 12 THz bandwidth, much larger than CdTe (3.5 THz) and GaP (6.4 THz). Furthermore, the maximum emission amplitude of DAST exceed beyond 10 times of magnitude to CdTe or GaP crystals. Therefore, DAST crystal is proposed to be an efficient THz emitter adapt for Yttrium-doped femtosecond pulse lasers.
