Abstract

A broadband and sensitive time-resolved terahertz (THz) configuration relying on noncollinear optical interactions is presented. This noncollinear scheme enables a higher THz generation and detection efficiency in nonlinear crystals. The concept relies on a pair of thick (2 mm) GaP crystals with a phase grating etched on their surface to achieve phase matching between a diffracted near-infrared pulse and a THz wave propagating at normal incidence. This system is compared to a standard collinear scheme based on thin (0.2 mm) crystals and, while both systems provide access to a spectral bandwidth extending up to 6.5 THz, it is found that the noncollinear configuration improves the THz signal by more than a factor of 400 and the dynamic range of the system by 30 dB at a frequency of 3 THz.
