Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

It is our pleasure to announce a new Special Issue of Crystals entitled Optical Crystals: Optical Properties and Applications in the Terahertz Range. It will cover both the theoretical and experimental advances of organic and inorganic optical crystals in the terahertz research field with a particular emphasis on the properties of crystals and terahertz technologies based on optical crystals. Research focused on applications involving generation, modulation, detection, and spectrometry in the terahertz range are particularly welcome. Considering that the validation of a supposition is usually realized via a cross-check, studies that use combined approaches are also welcome.

In this paper, we theoretically consider the magneto-optical spin Hall effect of light (MOSHEL) in a graphene–gold heterojunction structure at terahertz frequencies, and determine the maximum value of the transverse shift of the spin Hall effect of light (SHEL) in the designed structure by varying the terahertz frequency, the thickness of the metal layer, the Fermi energy level of the graphene, and the magnetic induction density. When the terahertz frequency was 1.2 THz, the metal layer thickness 50 nm, the Fermi level 0.2 eV, and the magnetic induction density B was 10 T, the SHEL shifts of left-handed circularly polarized (LHCP) and right-handed circularly polarized (RHCP) components was greatest at the critical angle (58°), with as value of 498μm, 1000 times larger than the visible light. At this point, graphene exhibited a significant magneto-optical effect, dramatically enhancing the splitting extrema of LHCP and RHCP. This structure will provide possibilities for enhancement of the transverse shift and efficient regulation of the optical spin Hall effect within the terahertz range. Full article

A passively Q-switched compact dual-wavelength Er: SrF2 laser, operating at a 2729.73 nm and 2747.2 nm wavelength, was demonstrated by utilizing CsPbCl3 quantum dots (QDs) as a saturable absorber (SA). The maximum average output power with the shortest duration of 510 ns and a repetition rate of 45 kHz was achieved at 190 mW, and the corresponding maximum single pulse energy and the peak power were 73.69 μJ and 141.7 W, respectively. The results present an efficient dual-wavelength laser source, and the halogen perovskite quantum dot has the potential to be employed as an excellent saturable absorber in mid-infrared pulsed solid-state lasers.

Terahertz (THz) sources, ranging from 0.1 THz to 10 THz, between microwaves and infrared waves, have important applications in spectral detection, medical imaging, communication, etc. Difference frequency generation (DFG) is an effective method for generating terahertz with the characteristics of low cost, simple structure, widely tunable range, no threshold, and room-temperature operation. This paper reviews various optical terahertz sources of difference frequency generation based on nonlinear crystals, including DFG with inorganic crystals, DFG with organic crystals, DFG with quasi-phase-matching (QPM) crystals, DFG in waveguides, cavity-enhanced DFG, and cascaded DFG. Their recent advances, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, are fully present and discussed. This review is expected to provide a comprehensive reference for researchers in this field and a quick understanding of optical THz sources of difference frequency generation with nonlinear crystals.
