In this range optical properties of semiconductors are mainly defined by the interaction of radiation with semiconductor plasma. A strong influence of the external field on parameters of a plasma of any kind, including the carrier plasma, opens possibilities for controlling parameters of THz radiation. The characteristic modulation time is defined by the carriers relaxation time (about 10-12 s), i.e. has the same order of magnitude as a THz wave period. For the calculation of an influence of an external quasi-static electric field on the parameters of the plasma and on the optical properties of the semiconductor all main mechanisms of carrier scattering and relaxation were accounted. For AIIIBV semiconductors the calculations of the response of the complex permittivity of carrier plasma on the external field were done numerically. An analysis of the reflection coefficients based on generalized Fresnel equations showed a variation of the reflection coefficient of the semiconductor under the influence of the field by dozens percent. Static parameters of semiconductors which provide a maximum modulation depth were defined. In case when an external field is a THz band field itself, the dependence of the permittivity on the intensity results in the harmonics generation. An analysis of the specific features of the generation showed an appearance of frequency resonances and a unique non-monotonic way of the dependence of the harmonic intensity on the pump wave field.","PeriodicalId":309922,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Coherent and Nonlinear Optics","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121148337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our experiments focusing fsl pulses into a vacuum setup we produced extended microstructures (microdamages) on a few tens nm thickness gold foil deposited onto a fused-quartz substrate. The structure length has been an order of magnitude larger than the typical size of the irradiated region. The detection of Au+ photoions ensured a highly-sensitivite on-line diagnostics of this phenomenon and in the limit can be used for the probing of the picostructuring of solids irradiated by a laser. In the next step we are \"cloning\" the microstructure (microdamage) from one surface to another when there is a few tens microns vacuum-spacing between them and only one surface with a metal film is \"directly\" irradiated by fsl pulses.
