摘要
对双色激光与氮化铝晶体相互作用产生太赫兹波进行了理论研究。研究的重点是探索在太赫兹光谱中产生非线性光学差频发射的潜力。利用Sellmeier色散公式,对折射率行为进行了深入分析。分析了室温下1064nm激光波长在0.5 ~ 12thz范围内相位匹配的条件。验证了最大偏移角为0.5°,适合于共线性波相互作用。应用曼利-罗方程,在理想无损介质中显示能量转换效率为\({10}^{-3}\),在考虑损耗时显示能量转换效率为\({10}^{-5}\)。利用准相位匹配(QPM)技术提高了分析质量,建立了最优周期波长。通过操纵温度,这种调整有助于在54-68太赫兹的1064纳米范围内进行调谐。饱和转化效率约为13%, while with the effects of losses considered, the efficiency dropped to values ranging from 3 to 7%, with a peak value around 9%.
Interaction of a two-color laser with aluminum nitride crystal leading to THz radiation
Generation of THz waves from interaction of a two-color laser with aluminum nitride crystal has been investigated theoretically. The focus of study has been directed towards exploring the potential of nonlinear optical difference frequency generation for emission in the THz spectrum. Leveraging Sellmeier's dispersion formula, an in-depth analysis of refractive index behavior was conducted. The analysis revealed the conditions for phase matching within the range of 0.5–12 THz for 1064 nm laser wavelength at room temperature. The maximum walk-off angle was verified 0.5°, suitable for co-linear wave interactions. The Manley–Row equations were applied, showcasing energy conversion efficiency in the order of \({10}^{-3}\) in an ideal lossless medium and \({10}^{-5}\) when accounting for losses. The quasi-phase matching (QPM) technique was utilized to enhance the quality of analysis and establishing an optimal periodicity wavelength. This adjustment facilitated tuning within the range 54–68 THz for 1064 nm by manipulating the temperature. The saturated conversion efficiency was around 13%, while with the effects of losses considered, the efficiency dropped to values ranging from 3 to 7%, with a peak value around 9%.
