LiNbO3 WEDGE THz ANTENNA

Abstract

The articles present results of the generation of THz pulse in 0.1-1.5 THz band via optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses in a wedge nonlinear crystal. The fmite-element method was employed to model and simulate the THz wave propagation in a TiNbO3 wedge antenna in order to analyze experimental results and to visualize how the form of the crystal influences the THz radiation both inside and outside the crystal in the near-field zone.
