　View Summary

© 2020 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement We have developed a terahertz time-domain polarimetry (THz-TDP) system by applying frequency modulation to electro-optic sampling detection in a nonlinear crystal. We characterized the precision of this system in determining the polarization angles to be 1.3° for fixed time delay, and 0.5° for complete time-domain waveform. Furthermore, we calculated the Jones matrix of the optical components used for beam propagation to calibrate the induced systematic error. The advantages of employing this calibration approach are demonstrated on a sapphire crystal investigated at different sample test positions in transmission configuration, and using high resistivity Si, AlN and quartz in reflection geometry. The new THz-TDP technique has the advantage of not using any external polarizers, and therefore is not constrained by their optical performance limitations, such as restricted bandwidths and frequency-dependent extinction ratio. Finally, the THz-TDP technique can be easily implemented on existing time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) systems.

Ultrafast coherent control of higher-order spin waves in a nife thin film by double-pulse excitation

　View Summary

© 2020 Author(s). By using a double-pulse excitation scheme, we demonstrate the optical control of higher-order spin waves in a ferromagnetic permalloy thin film. Three spin precession modes are observed in the film under single pulse excitation. Based on a theoretical calculation, these spin precession modes are assigned to the fundamental Kittel mode and the first- and second-order perpendicular standing spin-wave (PSSW) modes. In order to excite the first-order PSSW mode selectively, we use double-pulse excitation at 400 nm. We show that, by choosing an appropriate time interval between the two pump pulses, it is possible to obtain a relatively large amplitude of the first-order PSSW mode while the amplitudes of the other two modes are almost completely suppressed. By analyzing the spin dynamics, it is found that the spin precession motion under the double-pulse excitation condition can be explained by the interference between the spin waves that have been induced by the first and second pulses. Our finding indicates that the selective excitation of a spin precession mode with a high precession frequency in a ferromagnetic metal may be realized by a multiple-pump pulse excitation scheme with more than two pulses.

Evaluation of crystallinity and hydrogen bond formation in stereocomplex poly(lactic acid) films by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy

　View Summary

Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society. Stereocomplex poly(lactic acid) (sc-PLA) crystallites exhibit higher mechanical strength and thermal stability than PLA homocrystallites. In sc-PLA, a hydrogen bond that governs the physical properties is formed between two enantiomeric PLA chains during crystallization. Therefore, the investigation of this hydrogen bond is essential for a better understanding of the properties of sc-PLA. Here, we report on the terahertz spectroscopy of sc-PLA films with low crystallinities. The dielectric function in the terahertz regime allows us to estimate the crystallinity of sc-PLA because various intra- and intermolecular vibration modes lie in the terahertz frequency range. By comparison with X-ray diffraction measurements, the validity of the crystallinity evaluation based on terahertz spectroscopy is verified. Furthermore, a remarkable red-shift of the peak in the imaginary part of the dielectric function occurs as the crystallinity increases. By comparison with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, it is considered that this red-shift is caused by the anharmonic nature of the vibrational potential corresponding to the intermolecular libration mode of the sc-PLA crystallites. The hydrogen bond formation associated with the sc-PLA crystallization increases the anharmonicity of the vibrational potential of sc-PLA, and then the red-shift of the peak occurs. Our findings suggest that structural changes due to the stereocomplexation can be sensitively probed by terahertz spectroscopy.
