Time-resolved THz detection on thin-film lithium niobate

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

We present an on-chip interface between terahertz and near-infrared fields for time-resolved THz detection. The double-confinement of the probe-signal inside a waveguide and the terahertz field inside a gold antenna increases the nonlinear interaction. The ...

Resolving sub-cycle signatures: A perspective on hallmarks of terahertz metrology

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Alessandro Tomasino

Frequency up-conversion has become amongst the most prevalent techniques for detection of terahertz waves in metrology systems. State-of-the-art up-conversion techniques rely on the coherent transferring of the information encoded in all degrees of freedom ...

Metasurface-stabilized optical microcavities

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

Cavities concentrate light and enhance its interaction with matter. Confining to microscopic volumes is necessary for many applications but space constraints in such cavities limit the design freedom. Here we demonstrate stable optical microcavities by cou ...

Tunable pump compression and fast modulation for pulsed THz generation

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Alessandro Tomasino, Yazan Lampert Almahmoud, Shima Rajabali

We demonstrate tunable dispersion compensation of femtosecond pulses at telecom wavelengths for broadband Terahertz generation in 7.5-meter fiber link using a Silicon prism pair. The prism pair enhances the amplitude of the THz E-field in InGaAs photocondu ...

Terahertz waveform synthesis in integrated thin-film lithium niobate platform

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus, Jérôme Faist, Francesca Fabiana Settembrini

Bridging the "terahertz gap" relies upon synthesizing arbitrary waveforms in the terahertz domain enabling applications that require both narrow band sources for sensing and few-cycle drives for classical and quantum objects. However, realization of custom ...
