Abstract

We report on the scalability of generating terahertz radiation by optical rectification with the electro-optic materials LiNbO₃, LiTaO₃, and dimethyl amino 4-N-methylstilbazolium tosylate (DAST). A Ti:sapphire laser system, producing 215 fs, 20 mJ pulses at 810 nm, was used for the experiment. Using LiNbO₃ and LiTaO₃, the peak of the generated terahertz electric field was found to scale linearly with increasing optical fluence for fluences up to 60 mJ/cm², while with DAST the peak field scaled sublinearly in this fluence range.
