Generating Optic Terahertz Pulses in Waveguides with Quadratic Nonlinearity
Abstract The formation of optic terahertz bullets upon optical rectification in a planar waveguide with quadratic nonlinearity has been studied via numerical simulation. The input optical pulses composed of tens of vibrations, as well as pulses with several vibrations, have been considered. For the latter case, a steady optical terahertz bullet propagation has been shown.
