Potential of Sub-THz-Wave Generation in Li<sub>2</sub>B<sub>4</sub>O<sub>7</sub> Nonlinear Crystal at Room and Cryogenic Temperatures

Potential of Sub-THz-Wave Generation in Li<sub>2</sub>B<sub>4</sub>O<sub>7</sub> Nonlinear Crystal at Room and Cryogenic Temperatures

Due to their high optical damage threshold, borate crystals can be used for the efficient nonlinear down-conversion of terawatt laser radiation into the terahertz (THz) frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this work, we carried out a thorough study of the terahertz optical properties...
