Generation and characterization of intense terahertz pulses from DSTMS crystal

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Matter manipulation in terahertz range calls for a strong-field broadband light source. Here, we present a scheme for intense terahertz generation from DSTMS crystal driven by a high power optical parametric chirped pulse amplifier. The generated terahertz energy is up to 175 µJ with a peak electric field of 17 MV/cm. The relationship between terahertz energy, conversion efficiency, and pump fluence is demonstrated. This study provides a powerful driving light source for strong-field terahertz pump-probe experimentation.
