Terahertz emission via ultrashort-pulse excitation of magnetic metal films

Academic Article

Abstract

  • We observe terahertz emission by optical rectification of an intense 1.5-eV, 50-fs pulse in single-crystal iron thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The azimuthal dependence of the emission indicates the presence of a magnetic nonlinearity and a nonmagnetic surface nonlinearity.
