Abstract
A phase-resolved electric field pulse is produced through the second-order nonlinear process of intra-pulse difference frequency generation (DFG) in a (110) CdSiP2 chalcopyrite crystal. The generated electric field pulse exhibits a duration of several picoseconds and contains frequency components within the high-frequency terahertz regime of ∼17-32 THz. The intra-pulse DFG signal is shown to be influenced by single-phonon and two-phonon absorption, the nonlinear phase-matching criterion, and temporal spreading of the excitation electric field pulse. To date, this is the first investigation in which a CdSiP2 chalcopyrite crystal is used to produce radiation within the aforementioned spectral range.
