A Source for Ultrafast Continuum Infrared and Terahertz Radiation

A compact and stable method for generating high-intensity linearly polarized continuum mid-IR and terahertz light using ultrafast femtosecond (fs) laser pulses is demonstrated. Continuous light generation from <400cm⁻1 (12THz, 25mu)to >3300cm⁻1 (100TuZ, 3μm) in a sub-100 fs laser pulse is faci...
