The low (sub%) efficiencies so-far demonstrated for nonlinear optical down-conversion to
terahertz (THz) frequencies are a primary limiting factor in the generation of high-energy …

A method for generating multicolor phase-stable pulses tunable in a wide range from
terahertz (THz) to mid-infrared (mid-IR) is proposed. It is based on gas ionization by a laser …

WDM system transmission efficiency is deteriorated by the combined influence of cross
phase modulation (XPM) and group velocity dispersion (GVD) of first and second order. This …

Terahertz (THz) generation via photomixing on photoconductive antenna using twin delayed
chirped pulses provides a long THz pulse with a narrow bandwidth. To generate a long …

It is of scientific significance to explore the terahertz radiation source with the performances
of high power, tunable frequency, and controllable chirp for the realization of coherent …

A self-consistent analytic formalism of the description of saturation effects in optical
rectification is provided. It is shown that a nonlinear absorption term arises from this process …

Terahertz (THz) radiation can be used in an abundance of applications ranging from
fundamental science to in-situ quality control of industrial processes. The electric field …

Terahertz (THz) generation via photomixing on photoconductive antenna using twin delayed
chirped pulses provides a long THz pulse with a narrow bandwidth. To generate a long …

In this thesis I investigated the temporal characterization of ultrashort double pulses, and the
impact of this double-pulse structure on the high-order harmonic generation process. The …
