Abstract

We have investigated terahertz (THz) emission from lithium ternary chalcopyrite crystals LiInSe2, LiGaSe2, LiInS2, and LiGaS2 that were illuminated by 1560 nm femtosecond pump laser pulses. Monocyclic THz emission caused by nonlinear optical effects was initially observed in all the illuminated crystals. Narrow-band THz emission from the coherent phonons were observed in LiInSe2 (2.87 THz) and LiGaSe2 (2.60 and 3.45 THz). These phonon modes were most likely caused by impulsive stimulated Raman scattering.
