目前研究中最热的频率区域位于微波和红外之间的“频率间隙”区域:太赫兹波。虽然已经开发了产生太赫兹辐射的新方法,但大多数源不能产生高亮度的太赫兹光束。在这里,我们演示了在非线性晶体中使用参数波长转换产生超亮太赫兹波(亮度约为0.2 GW/sr·cm 2,亮度温度约为1018 K,峰值功率>50 kW);这比许多专业光源,如远红外自由电子激光器(约为1016 K,约2 kW)更亮。     利用最新发展的微芯片激光器,我们在铌酸锂中发现了一种新颖的无受激布里渊散射的受激拉曼散射参量波长转换。此外,非线性上转换技术允许将强烈的太赫兹波可视化并确定其频率。这些结果是非常有希望的应用研究扩展到太赫兹区域,我们预计,这个源将开辟新的研究领域,如在太赫兹区域的非线性光学。
The hottest frequency region in terms of research currently lies in the ‘frequency gap' region between microwaves and infrared: terahertz waves. Although new methods for generating terahertz radiation have been developed, most sources cannot generate high-brightness terahertz beams. Here we demonstrate the generation of ultrabright terahertz waves (brightness ~0.2 GW/sr·cm2, brightness temperature of ~1018 K, peak power of >50 kW) using parametric wavelength conversion in a nonlinear crystal; this is brighter than many specialized sources such as far-infrared free-electron lasers (~1016 K, ~2 kW). We revealed novel parametric wavelength conversion using stimulated Raman scattering in LiNbO3 without stimulated Brillouin scattering using recently-developed microchip laser. Furthermore, nonlinear up-conversion techniques allow the intense terahertz waves to be visualized and their frequency determined. These results are very promising for extending applied research into the terahertz region, and we expect that this source will open up new research fields such as nonlinear optics in the terahertz region.
