Program | A number of interesting application require single-cycle or near-single- cycle THz pulses with peak electric field strengths up to 100 MV/cm in the lower frequency part of the THz spectrum (around 1 THz). Our numerical and experimental studies indicate that optical rectification driven by efficient diode-pumped solid-state lasers, together with tilting the pump pulse front is a promising route towards the generation of such extremely intense THz pulses. Besides extending the scope of nonlinear THz spectroscopy, the foreseen applications range from attosecond physics to hadron therapy. | |
