Abstract
We report on terahertz (THz) generation via optical rectification in a room temperature gallium arsenide (GaAs) crystal pumped at a wavelength of 1.8 μm using a modified tilted-pulse-front scheme, leading to a 0.05% energy conversion efficiency. The spectral content of the measured THz pulses, ranging from 0.1 to 3 THz, confirmed a good broadband phase matching between the pump and the THz pulses over several millimeters (>20 mm) in a semi-insulating 〈110〉 cut bulk GaAs crystal. Our findings also suggest that the pump-to-THz conversion efficiency can be further increased by using a pump source with a narrower bandwidth.
