    Abstract

    Synchrotron radiation-namely, electromagnetic radiation produced by charges moving in a curved path-is regularly generated at large-scale facilities where giga-electron volt electrons move along kilometer-long circular paths. We use a metasurface to bend light and demonstrate synchrotron radiation produced by a subpicosecond pulse, which moves along a circular arc of radius 100 micrometers inside a nonlinear crystal. The emitted radiation, in the terahertz frequency range, results from the nonlinear polarization induced by the pulse. The generation of synchrotron radiation from a pulse revolving about a circular trajectory holds promise for the development of on-chip terahertz sources.

  • Observation of Standing Waves of Electron-Hole Sound in a Photoexcited Semiconductor PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS Padmanabhan, P., Young, S. M., Henstridge, M., Bhowmick, S., Bhattacharya, P. K., Merlin, R. 2014; 113 (2): 027402

    Abstract

    Three-dimensional multicomponent plasmas composed of species with very different masses support a new branch of charge-density fluctuations known as acoustic plasmons. Here, we report on an ultrafast optical method to generate and probe coherent states of acoustic plasmons in a slab of GaAs, which relies on strong photoexcitation to create a large population of light electrons and heavy holes. Consistent with the random-phase-approximation theory, the data reveal standing plasma waves confined to these slabs, similar to those of conventional sound but with associated velocities that are significantly larger.
