| Popis: |
Sideways THz generation in Mg:LiNbO3 crystal is studied considering Si-prism-lens couplers with different output surface curvatures. A theoretical approach is developed for modeling the angular distributions of THz radiation power inside the crystal, inside the Si coupler and outside in free space. Our calculations show how the imposition of a plano-convex lens on the standard flat prism can substantially improve the THz generation efficiency. The ratio between the lens curvature radius and the distance from the curvature center to the point of generation on the lens axis is found to be one of the most important parameters. The developed general approach can be used for the further design of the optimal THz extraction elements of a different configuration. |
