Low frequency terahertz-induced demagnetization in ferromagnetic nickel

A laser stimulus at terahertz (THz) frequency is expected to offer superior control over magnetization dynamics compared to an optical pulse, where ultrafast demagnetization is mediated by heat deposition. As a THz field cycle occurs on a timescale similar ...

Visualization of Terahertz radiation on silicon-based CCD and CMOS sensor at high resolution

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

Low frequency THz radiation is visualized by means of a charged-coupled device designed for optical frequencies and a CMOS sensor. This technological advance opens novel opportunities in THz imaging as it offers smallest pixel size and large chip size at l ...

Simultaneous electronic and the magnetic excitation of a ferromagnet by intense THz pulses

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

The speed of magnetization reversal is a key feature in magnetic data storage. Magnetic fields from intense THz pulses have been recently shown to induce small magnetization dynamics in a cobalt thin film on the sub-picosecond time scale. Here, we show tha ...

Intense THz source based on BNA organic crystal pumped at Ti:sapphire wavelength

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

We report on high-energy terahertz pulses by optical rectification (OR) in the organic crystal N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (BNA) directly pumped by a conventional Ti:sapphire amplifier. The simple scheme provides an optical-to-terahertz conversion eff ...

High-power femtosecond Raman frequency shifter

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

We report on the generation of broadband, high-energy femtosecond pulses centered at 1.28 mu m by stimulated Raman scattering in a pressurized hydrogen cell. Stimulated Raman scattering is performed by two chirped and delayed pulses originating from a mult ...

High-energy femtosecond hydrogen Raman laser

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

High-energy pulses at 1.28 mu m are demonstrated by stimulated Raman scattering using two chirped pulses of a Ti:Sapphire laser in hydrogen. The Stokes pulse carrying record-high energy of 4.4 mJ is recompressed to 80 fs. ...

Terahertz-induced demagnetization in ferromagnets

Christoph Peter Hauri, Mostafa Shalaby

We experimentally demonstrate ultrafast terahertz induced demagnetization in conducting ferromagnets, Ni, Co, and Fe. At even higher excitation fluence, the materials lose their magnetic properties and then get damaged before magnetic switching takes place ...
