Optical pulse generation in a transistor laser via intra-cavity photon-assisted tunneling and excess base carrier redistribution

Journal Article Feng, M. ; Iverson, E. W. ; Wang, C. Y. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

For a direct-gap semiconductor (e.g., a p-n junction), photon-assisted tunneling is known to exhibit a high nonlinear absorption. In a transistor laser, as discussed here, the coherent photons generated at the quantum well interact with the collector junction field and “assist” electron tunneling from base to collector, thus resulting in the nonlinear modulation of the laser and the realization of optical pulse generation. 1 and 2 GHz optical pulses are demonstrated in the transistor laser using collector voltage control.

Generation of frequency-tunable pulsed terahertz radiation by a Cr : forsterite laser system with an acoustooptical control of the pulse temporal profile

Journal Article Ovchinnikov, A. V. ; Chefonov, O. V. ; Molchanov, V. Ya. ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

We report the experimental results on generating pulsed terahertz (THz) radiation, frequency-tunable within the range 0.5−2 THz. The THz pulse generation was implemented using the method of optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses in the nonlinear organic crystal OH1. The frequency tuning of the THz radiation was provided by adaptive phase – amplitude modulation of the pump pulses from the Cr : forsterite laser system with a radiation wavelength of 1230 nm using the acoustooptical dispersion delay line.

On the mechanism of generation of terahertz electromagnetic radiation upon irradiation of a nanostructured metal surface by femtosecond laser pulses

Journal Article Gladun, A D ; Leiman, V G ; Arsenin, A V - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

A mechanism of generation of coherent terahertz electromagnetic radiation upon irradiation of a nanostructured metal surface by femtosecond laser pulses is proposed. The mechanism is based on the stimulated coherent radiation of electrons emitted from the metal surface and filling hollows in the periodic nanostructure. (nonlinear optical phenomena)

Generation of terahertz radiation by focusing femtosecond bichromatic laser pulses in a gas or plasma

Journal Article Chizhov, P A ; Volkov, Roman V ; Bukin, V V ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The generation of terahertz radiation by focusing two-frequency femtosecond laser pulses is studied. Focusing is carried out both in an undisturbed gas and in a pre-formed plasma. The energy of the terahertz radiation pulses is shown to reduce significantly in the case of focusing in a plasma. (extreme light fields and their applications)

Tunable and collimated terahertz radiation generation by femtosecond laser pulses

Journal Article Malik, Hitendra K ; Malik, Anil K - Applied Physics Letters

A mechanism is proposed for the generation of tunable terahertz (THz) radiation under the application of two femtosecond laser pulses and an external magnetic field, where quick tunnel ionization is achieved that leads to higher plasma density evolution and large residual current for the efficient THz radiation generation. With the optimization of magnetic field, phase difference, and amplitudes of lasers' fields, a THz source can be obtained with tunable frequency and power along with a control on the direction of radiation emission.
