Highly efficient THz generation by optical rectification of mid-IR pulses in DAST

We report on efficient THz generation in DAST by optical rectification of intense mid-IR pulses centered at (i) 3.9 μm and (ii) its second harmonic at 1.95 μm. Suppression of multi-photon absorption shifts the onset of saturation of the THz conversion efficiency to pump energy densities, which are a...
