Enhanced Terahertz Emitter by Multiplexing Pump Titled Pulse Front in LiNbO3 Crystal.

It is crucial to enhance the efficiency of terahertz radiation in a single crystal for the application of intense field terahertz waves. We devise a trapezoidal lithium niobate prism that, upon side incidence of the terahertz wave, retroreflects the femtosecond laser onto the crystal's symmetric plane. The conversion efficiency of pump power to THz pulse power for circular cavity increases by 36% compared to that of the conventional cavity. The findings demonstrate that the utilization of sample multiplexing pump can significantly enhance the efficiency of terahertz generation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
