Description

A kind of lithium columbate crystal integrated structure and a kind of high energy terahertz pulse generation device
Technical field
The utility model is related to optical technical fields, more particularly, to a kind of lithium columbate crystal integrated structure and one kind High energy terahertz pulse generation device.
Background technology
Terahertz (THz) radiation is commonly referred to as electromagnetic wave from 0.1~10THz, wave band microwave and far infrared it Between.Due to specific position of the Terahertz frequency on electromagnetic spectrum so that the high-energy light source of this frequency range lacks very much.High energy The terahertz emission source of amount can be divided into synchrotron radiation THz source and the small-sized THz source of Table top type according to the size of device.It is synchronous The THz source of radiation can generate the terahertz pulse of hundred micro- burnt magnitudes, but such large-scale plant is costly and operation is high It is expensive.The high field terahertz emission source of Table top type is mainly driven by pulsed femtosecond laser, can be divided into according to the difference of producing method: Optical rectification, photoconducting antenna, air plasma, laser target shooting etc..
Although laser target shooting has been obtained for the energy of hundreds of micro- cokes, the terahertz emission that laser target shooting is obtained Directionality is poor, is not suitable for subsequent applications, and radiation efficiency is relatively low, radiation mechanism also needs further to be studied.Air plasma The Terahertz of generation can obtain the radiation of ultra wide band, very advantageous to the characterization of material, and air is as non-linear Jie Damage threshold problem is not present in matter, but terahertz emission efficiency caused by this method is low, and air plasma is unstable, is The poor signal to noise of system, high to double-colored phase matching requirement, mechanism also need further to explore.Large-aperture photoconductive antennas spoke The Terahertz penetrated is efficient, and stability is good, covers the low-frequency range of terahertz emission, but photoconductive antenna relies on applying direct current Field and high exciting power can lead to the screen effect of antenna breakdown and carrier, therefore antenna is easily destroyed, and obtain absolute Terahertz energy is relatively low.
Up to the present, optical rectification is considered as the method that most effective Table top type generates high field terahertz emission. Using optical rectification generate terahertz emission during, the same infrared light pulse cover in different spectral components between produce Raw cascade difference frequency process, realizes the generation of terahertz emission.As long as phase-matching condition is met, the mistake converted under the frequency Journey cascade will repeated, it is possible to so that infrared photon is completely converted into multiple Terahertz photons, obtain>100% light Sub- transfer efficiency.Zinc telluridse (ZnTe) and gallium phosphide (GaP) are always to be used to realize that THz source is common by optical rectification Material.Since their nonlinear factor is not high enough and has great two-photon absorption in infrared frequency, researcher is Sight is turned to the larger organic crystal and lithium niobate (LiNbO3) crystal of nonlinear factor.Although organic crystal is expected very much, Its intrinsic disadvantage, such as low damage threshold, are not used to high power high-energy laser;Small size is not used to high energy Measure the laser excitation of large spot;Material is unstable, is easy to deliquesce, and can not prepare firm terahertz sources source;It needs specific - 1.5 μm of pumpings of 1.2 μm of wavelength, and the technology of the high-energy laser of the frequency range is not mature enough;Crystal price is very expensive Deng so that allow people to hang back to generate high field terahertz pulse using organic crystal.
Second method is that high field is generated in lithium columbate crystal using inclination wave front technology using the method for optical rectification Terahertz emission.Lithium niobate is equivalent to silicon materials in semi-conductor industry in the status of optical field, is a candidate material well Material.It has the advantages that very more such as big damage thresholds, can be used for high-energy laser;High nonlinear coefficient can get High energy conversion efficiency;Big energy bandgaps (4eV), the energy loss for overcoming two-photon or Multiphoton Absorbtion to bring;To pump Pumping wavelength non-selectivity etc..But since infrared light and THz wave have different refractive index, Qian Zheyue in lithium columbate crystal It is 5, the latter is about 2.3, in order to realize that phase matched to greatest extent, Hebling etc. propose the method before inclined wave Referring to non-patent literature U.S. optics letter Optics Express, volume 10, the 21st phase, 1611-1166 pages.
In the prior art, the committed step for THz wave being generated using photonic propulsion method is cutting for lithium niobate transmitting crystal It cuts mode and uses trapezoidal or isosceles triangle cutting mode.During the experiment, 62- of the exciting light direct irradiation in crystal 63 ° of angles, THz wave is then along direction emits at an angle with incident exciting light.
Conventionally, as tilting non-colinear feature of the wave front technology on space geometry so that when high-energy is (single Pulse energy is higher than 100mJ), the femto-second laser pulse of large spot (spot diameter be more than 5mm) acts on lithium columbate crystal and produces When raw high energy terahertz pulse, close to 62-63 ° of angle cutting edge of crystal exciting light in crystal propagation distance it is too short, And the propagation distance in crystal of the exciting light far from the arm of angle edge is long, this allows for exciting light and turns to the photon energy of THz wave Changing efficiency can not further increase, or even to be maintained at previous level all highly difficult.
