Intense THz radiation produced in organic salt crystals for high-field applications

Christoph Peter Hauri

Organic stilbazolium salt crystals pumped by intense, ultrashort mid-infrared laser have been investigated for efficient THz generation by optical rectification. In this paper we present our latest results in view of the generation of single-cycle and high ...

Multi-octave MV/cm pulses filling the THz gap

Christoph Peter Hauri

Single-cycle THz pulses with electric field strength of MV/cm are required for wide range of applications from physics to biology and medicine [1]. Presently, high fields are still challenging to produce in the THz gap (0.1-10 THz) where important condense ...

Spectral characterization of fully phase-matched high harmonics generated in a hollow waveguide for free-electron laser seeding

Fernando Ardana Lamas, Christoph Peter Hauri

We present a bright and coherent soft x-ray source based on high harmonic generation delivering up to 10(10) photons per second centered at 120 eV within an 80 eV bandwidth. The source profits from fully phase-matched harmonic generation in an unmodulated ...

Spatiotemporal Focusing Dynamics of Intense Supercontinuum THz Pulses

Christoph Peter Hauri

High-field terahertz (THz) single-cycle pulses with 1.5 MV/cm are generated by optical rectification in the stilbazolium salt crystal 4-N, N-dimethylamino-4'-N'-methyl-stilbazolium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate. We show experimentally that the generated ...

Self-referenced spectral interferometry for ultrashort infrared pulse characterization

Christoph Peter Hauri

We demonstrate for the first time (to our knowledge) characterization of ultrashort IR pulses by self-referenced spectral interferometry. Both sub-55-fs pulses from 1.4 mu m to 2 mu m and broadband 2.5-cycle pulses at 1.65 mu m (13 fs FWHM) are characteriz ...

Laser-driven generation of intense single-cycle THz field

Fernando Ardana Lamas, Christoph Peter Hauri

We report on laser-based, high power single-cycle THz source. The THz radiation is generated by four-wave mixing in plasma and by optical rectification in organic salt crystal pumped by powerful optical parametric amplifier. The first approach permits the ...

Deep-ultraviolet picosecond flat-top pulses by chirp-matched sum frequency generation

Christoph Peter Hauri

Picosecond, flat-top, deep-UV pulses are needed to generate high-brightness electron beams to efficiently drive x-ray free electron lasers. Current metal photocathodes have low efficiency and therefore require high-energy pulses, and the generation of high ...
