An Improvement of the Cherenkov THz Generation Scheme Using Convex Silicon Prism-Lens Adapters

The terahertz (THz) generation efficiency in the Cherenkov optical rectification scheme can be improved significantly if the silicon adaptor, mounted at the lateral surface of a nonlinear crystal, has a convex output surface with proper geometry. We demonstrate and compare with the results of direct...
