Wave-vector Spectrum of Monochromatic Terahertz Surface Plasmon Polaritons on Real Surfaces
Publication date: 2016 Source:Physics Procedia, Volume 84 Author(s): V.V. Gerasimov, B.A. Knyazev, A.К. Nikitin Experiments at the Novosibirsk free electron laser demonstrating that monochromatic terahertz surface plasmon-polaritons (SPPs) on a real metal surface have a rather wide-band spectrum of their wave-vector are described. The fact was evidenced by detection of bulk waves radiated from the SPP track and by means of SPPs reflection from a mirror installed normally to the sample surface or tilted to it. The cause of the wave-vector splitting is supposed to be SPPs scattering on imperfections of the surface. Thi...

Observation of the Formation of 0- π Pulses in Rotation Spectra of HCN and HBr
We present the first experimental study of the formation of 0-π pulses in the far infrared region. Experiments were made in rotation spectra of HCN and HBr molecules using a Novosibirsk terahertz free electron laser (NovoFEL) as a source of optical pulses and ultra-fast Schottky diode as detector. Transformation of the shape of 0-π pulses was explored within a wide range of optical density. Throughout the range of experimental conditions, the observed pulse shape is well described by the analytical formula of Grisp (Phys. Rev. A 1 (1970) 1604). The observed effect can be used for time-domain measurements of the oscillato...
