High field broadband THz generation in organic materials

Organic salt crystals, e.g. DAST, OH1, and DSTMS, pumped by ultra-short infrared laser are efficient THz emitters. We review our latest results on the generation in organic crystals of THz single-cycle transients with field strength of 1.5 MV/cm. The energ ...

High-performing nonlinear visualization of terahertz radiation on a silicon charge-coupled device

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

Photoinduced electron transitions can lead to significant changes of the macroscopic electronic properties in semiconductors. This principle is responsible for the detection of light with charge-coupled devices. Their spectral sensitivity is limited by the ...

Spectrally intense terahertz source based on triangular Selenium

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

The intensity of a nonlinear terahertz (THz) source is primarily given by its spectral density. In this letter, we introduce triangular Selinium (Se) as a novel THz emitter and show numerically its superior properties to the currently used crystals for int ...

Spectral self-action of THz emission from ionizing two-color laser pulses in gases

The spectrum of terahertz (THz) emission in gases via ionizing two-color femtosecond pulses is analyzed by means of a semi-analytic model and numerical simulations in 1D, 2D and 3D geometries taking into account propagation effects of both pump and THz fie ...

Filling the Entire Terahertz Frequency Gap by Single-Cycle MV/Cm Pulses

Christoph Peter Hauri, Fernando Ardana Lamas

We demonstrate highly efficient Terahertz production and absolute phase control in the hardly accessible THz frequency gap (1-15 THz) by optical rectification in organic crystals leading to single-cycle field oscillations beyond 150MV/m and 0.5 Tesla. ...

Charge carrier dynamics at organic interfaces for polymer photovoltaics

Mariateresa Scarongella

The increased energy demand and the importance to find renewable energy resources have been addressed by a scientific effort to improve the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells. In particular, polymer-based solar cells have experienced a grea ...

Dynamics of Interfacial Charge Transfer States and Carriers Separation in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Time-Resolved Terahertz Spectroscopy Study

Jacques-Edouard Moser, Arianna Marchioro, Jan Cornelius Brauer, Arun Aby Paraecattil, Ahmad Ajdar Zadeh Oskouei

Electron injection from a photoexcited molecular sensitizer into a wide-bandgap semiconductor is the primary step toward charge separation in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). According to the current understanding of DSSCs functioning mechanism, charges ...

Gate-controlled mid-infrared light bending with aperiodic graphene nanoribbons array

Juan Ramon Mosig, Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

Graphene plasmonic nanostructures enable subwavelength confinement of electromagnetic energy from the mid-infrared down to the terahertz frequencies. By exploiting the spectrally varying light scattering phase at the vicinity of the resonant frequency of t ...

Multi-band reflectarray antennas in Ku and THz frequency bands

Hamed Hasani

Printed reflectarrays are low-cost, low-profile high gain antennas demonstrating distinctive advantages over conventional parabolic reflectors and phased-arrays. The flat, low weight reflecting surface of a reflectarray makes it an attractive alternative w ...

Manifestation of a Second Dirac Surface State and Bulk Bands in THz Radiation from Topological Insulators

Helmuth Berger, Hua Chen

Topological insulators (TIs) are interesting quantum matters that have a narrow bandgap for bulk and a Dirac-cone-like conducting surface state (SS). The recent discovered second Dirac surface state (SS) and bulk bands (BBs) located similar to 1.5 eV above ...
