Popis: There was no appropriate antireflection coating material for organic nonlinear optical (NLO) crystal used for terahertz wave generation; therefore, it was difficult to reduce Fresnel’s reflection loss of laser power used to excite the emitter crystal until we found that an amorphous polymer “Cytop” was applicable. Here, we demonstrate enhanced terahertz (THz) wave generation from an organic NLO crystal using a coating made from Cytop. With the Cytop coating, surface reflection losses of the excitation light were minimized, resulting in a significant improvement in THz wave generation over a wide frequency range.
