A review on the recent development of intense laser‐driven terahertz (THz) sources is
provided here. The technologies discussed include various types of sources based on …

Ultrashort terahertz pulses derived from femtosecond table-top sources have become a
valuable tool for time-resolved spectroscopy during the last two decades. Until recently, the …

Extremely strong‐field terahertz (THz) radiation in free space has compelling applications in
nonequilibrium condensed matter state regulation, all‐optical THz electron acceleration and …

Even though the terahertz spectrum is well suited for chemical identification, material
characterization, biological sensing and medical imaging, practical development of these …

The principles and most-recent results of high-power THz generation through optical
rectification using a tilted optical pulse front are described. Single-cycle THz pulses of …

Generation of near single-cycle pulses centered at 0.5 THz frequency with up to 10 μ J
energy, 100 μ W average power, and 5.0 MW peak power was demonstrated by tilting the …

Terahertz waves, which lie in the frequency range of 0.1-10 THz, have long been
investigated in a few limited fields, such as astronomy, because of a lack of devices for their …

Optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses has emerged as the dominant technique for
generating single-and few-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses. The advent of the tilted pulse front …

We demonstrate the generation μJ-level, single-cycle terahertz pulses by optical rectification
from a large-aperture ZnTe single crystal wafer. Energies up to 1.5 μJ per pulse and a …

Detailed analysis of the tilted-pulse-front pum** scheme used for ultrashort THz pulse
generation by optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses is presented. It is shown that …
