Generation of 0.19-mJ THz pulses in LiNbO 3 driven by 800-nm femtosecond laser
We proposed a cylindrical lens telescope tilted pulse front pumping scheme for high energy terahertz pulse generation. The optimum pump laser spectral bandwidth and crystal cooling temperature for OR in LN crystal were researched systematically. Excitated by 800-nm laser, more than 0.19 mJ energy and 0.27% efficiency terahertz pulses generation was demonstrated with the optimum bandwidth pumping and 150 K cooling temperature for the first time.
