Optical rectification in 4H-SiC: paving the way to generate strong terahertz fields with ultra-wide bandwidth by Fangjie Li, Kai Zhong, Yiwen Zhang, Tong Wu, Yuxin Liu, Hongzhan Qiao, Jining Li, Degang Xu, Jianquan Yao

“…The theory accounts for the optimization of incident pulse pre-chirping in the TPF OR process under high-intensity femtosecond laser pumping. Compared with the currently recognized LiNbO3-based TPF OR, which generates a single-cycle terahertz pulse within 3 THz, 4H-SiC demonstrates a significant advantage in producing ultra-widely tunable (up to over 14 THz, TPF angle 31°–38°) terahertz waves with high efficiency (~10–2) and strong field (~MV/cm). …”

Flexible acoustic particle manipulation device with integrated optical waveguide for enhanced microbead assays. by Glynne-Jones, P, J Boltryk, R, Hill, M, Zhang, F, Dong, L, Wilkinson, J, Melvin, T, R Harris, N, Brown, T

“…Acoustic radiation forces are used to manipulate polystyrene micro-beads into an optical evanescent field generated by a laser pumped ion-exchanged waveguide. The evanescent field only excites fluorophores brought within approximately 100 nm of the waveguide, allowing the system to differentiate between targets bound to the beads and those unbound and still held in suspension. …”
