We have developed a 1 kHz repetition picosecond laser system dedicated for intense terahertz (THz) pulse generation. The system comprises a chirped pulse amplification laser equipped with a Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifier. At room temperature, the Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier provides pulses having energy of over 10 mJ and spectral bandwidth of 1.2 nm. The pulse duration achieved after passage through a diffraction grating pair compressor was 1.3 ps. By employing this picosecond laser as a pump source, THz pulses having a peak frequency of 0.3 THz and 4 $$mu$$J of energy were generated by means of optical rectification in an Mg-doped LiNbO$$_{3}$$ crystal.

Contact grating device with Fabry-Perot resonator for effective terahertz light generation

Tsubouchi, Masaaki; Nagashima, Keisuke; Yoshida, Fumiko; Ochi, Yoshihiro; Maruyama, Momoko

A novel design for a contact grating device with an incorporated Fabry-Perot resonator is proposed for high-power terahertz light (THz) generation. We deposited a multilayer consisting of Ta$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$ and Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ on a magnesium-doped stoichiometric LiNbO$$_{3}$$ substrate and fabricated grating grooves on the outermost layer. The multilayer was designed such that conditions for a Fabry-Perot resonator were satisfied for light diffracted by the grating. Consequently, the fraction of light transmitted into the LiNbO$$_{3}$$ substrate, i.e., the diffraction efficiency, was enhanced by the resonator. The diffraction efficiency of the fabricated device was 71%, which is close to the calculated value of 78% from the optimized design. THz light generation was also demonstrated with the contact grating device. The THz output of 0.41 microJ was obtained using NIR pump light of 2.7 mJ.

A method for growing large protein crystals is described. In this method, a cut pipette tip is used to hang large-scale droplets (maximum volume 200 $$mu$$l) consisting of protein and precipitating agents. A crystal grows at the vapor-liquid interface; thereafter the grown crystal can be retrieved by droplet-droplet contact both for repeated macroseeding and for mounting crystals in a capillary. Crystallization experiments with peroxiredoxin of ${it Aeropyrum pernix}$ K1(thioredoxin peroxidase, ApTPx) and hen egg white lysozyme demonstrated that this large-scale hanging-drop method could produce a large-volume crystal very effectively. A neutron diffraction experiment confirmed that an ApTPx crystal (6.2 mm$$^{3}$$) obtained by this method diffracted to beyond 3.5 ${AA}$ resolution.

In KPSI, we are developing the intense THz light generation apparatus. In this presentation, we will introduce the current status of the developing the apparatus, including the pump laser system, THz generation and detection system, and so on.

We are developing intense THz light source to realize control of molecular axis orientation in space. From the theoretical studies by Hebling and co-workers, it has been known that the desirable excitation NIR pulse for the THz light generation process in the Mg-sLiNbO$$_{3}$$ crystal should have the pulse width of 400 fs - 1 ps, and the tilted pulse front by 63 degree. To generate such NIR light, the Yb:YAG based amplifier system is one of the good candidates. By using this system, we are trying to generate the intense THz light with the high repetition rate (1 kHz).

The nonlinear interaction between terahertz (THz) light and matter has recently been of interest for its availability to control molecular alignment in space. The pulse train of the intense THz light is one of the candidates to align the molecules efficiently and nondestructively. In this study, we have developed the experimental apparatus to generate the intense THz light. The THz etalon to generate the THz pulse train has been presented in our previous study.

We are developing a high average power laser system using Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifiers. Currently picoseconds pulses with 10 mJ energy are delivered from the regenerative amplifier at repetition rate of 1 kHz. The pulse energy will increase up to 100 mJ by a Yb:YAG thin-disk multi-pass amplifier. The picosecond pulses have been used in several applications such as intense THz light wave generation, laser induced damage test, and so on. I will present details of the laser system and preliminary results of applications.

A novel design for a contact grating device with an incorporated Fabry-Perot resonator is proposed for high-power terahertz light (THz) generation. We deposited a multilayer consisting of Ta$$_{2}$$O$$_{5}$$ and Al$$_{2}$$O$$_{3}$$ on a magnesium-doped stoichiometric LiNbO$$_{3}$$ substrate and fabricated grating grooves on the outermost layer. The multilayer was designed such that conditions for a Fabry-Perot resonator were satisfied for light diffracted by the grating. Consequently, the fraction of light transmitted into the LiNbO$$_{3}$$ substrate, i.e., the diffraction efficiency, was enhanced by the resonator. The diffraction efficiency of the fabricated device was 71%, which is close to the calculated value of 78% from the optimized design. THz light generation was also demonstrated with the contact grating device. The THz output of 0.41 uJ was obtained using NIR pump light of 2.7 mJ.

Ochi, Yoshihiro; Nagashima, Keisuke; Maruyama, Momoko; Tsubouchi, Masaaki; Kono, Nanase; Yoshida, Fumiko; Sugiyama, Akira

no journal, , 

We have developed a high average power picosecond laser system, named QUADRA-T, dedicated to intense terahertz (THz) pulse generation. QUADRA-T is a chirped pulse amplification laser equipping Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifier. The Yb:YAG thin-disk regenerative amplifier at room temperature provides 10 mJ pulses at a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Duration of a recompressed pulse is 1.3 ps. By employing this picosecond pulse as a pump source, THz pulse of the center frequency of 0.3 THz with a few micro joules energy has been obtained by the optical rectification in Mg-LiNbO$$_{3}$$ crystal.
