| dc.description.abstract | Electro-optic (EO) polymers are promising materials to be used as THz emitters and sensors due to their high nonlinear coefficients and good phase-matching conditions. We demonstrate efficient THz generation from an 80 μm thick EO polymer emitter which is equivalent to that of a 1000 μm thick ZnTe standard. Also, this kind of EO polymer allows a generation up to 20 THz with ultra-short laser pulses. We have observed resonance-enhanced THz generation in another kind of EO polymer composite near its absorption maximum. Due to a sharp resonance of the EO coefficient near the absorption maximum of the material, the amplitude of THz field generated from a 3.1 μm thick film of this composite is 15% larger than that from a 1000 μm thick ZnTe standard. The estimated EO coefficient of this composite at 800 nm is over 1200 pm/V. | en_US |
