We report on high-field terahertz transients with 0.9-mJ pulse energy produced in a 400 mm2 partitioned organic crystal by optical rectification of 30-mJ laser centered at 1.25 μm wavelength. The phase-locked single-cycle pulses cover the hard-to-access low-frequency range between 0.1 and 5 THz carry peak fields more than 42 MV/cm 14 Tesla potential to reach over 80 choosing appropriate focusing optics. scheme based Cr:Mg2SiO4 offers high conversion efficiency 3% using uncooled crystal....

Second Harmonic Generation induced by the electric field of a strong nearly single-cycle terahertz pulse with peak amplitude 300 kV/cm is studied in classical inorganic ferroelectric thin film (Ba0.8Sr0.2)TiO3. The dependences SHG intensity on polarization incoming light revealed and interpreted terms plane film. As THz pumps medium range phononic excitations, explained as dynamical change ferrolectric order parameter. It estimated that under action parameter acquires an in-plane component...

We report on the experimental observation of high-power terahertz-radiation-induced damage in a thin aluminum film with thickness less than terahertz skin depth. Damage metal produced by single pulse is observed for first time. The mechanism induced could be attributed to thermal expansion causing debonding from substrate, cracking, and ablation. pattern multiple pulses at fluences below threshold quite different that single-pulse experiments. resembles an array microcracks elongated...

Abstract Fundamental physical phenomena in metals irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses with absorbed fluences higher than few tens of mJ/cm 2 are investigated. For those fluences, laser‐produced electron distribution function relaxes to equilibrium Fermi temperature T e within a short time 10‐100 fs. Because the subsystem has highly exceeding much ion i well‐known twotemperature hydrodynamic model (2T‐HD) is used evaluate heat propagation associated hot conductive diffusion and electron‐ion...

We consider the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of Nickel as an example transition metal in two-temperature state (Te≫Ti,) produced by femtosecond laser heating. Our physical model includes essential processes induced metals ultrafast energy absorption. Specifically, electron-ion collision frequency was obtained from recent high-temperature measurements electrical conductivity electron-electron screened Coulomb scattering calculated taking into account s-s s-d collisions. In addition,...

Abstract The experimental findings on the second harmonic generation (SHG) in centrosymmetric crystal silicon are reported. SHG is induced by extremely high electric field (up to 15 MV/cm) parallel surface of a short terahertz (THz) pulse while probing an infrared femtosecond optical pulse. under such unique conditions reported for first time. At amplitude above 8 MV/cm, quadratic dependence yield integrated over THz duration violated and not changed with further increase field. Saturation...
