THz Generation from Plasmonic Nanoparticle Arrays
Abstract
We investigate the generation of THz pulses when arrays of silver nanoparticles are irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses, providing the first reproducible experimental evidence in support of recent theoretical predictions of such an effect. We assess our results in the context of a model where photoelectrons are produced by plasmon-mediated multiphoton excitation, and THz radiation is generated via the acceleration of the ejected electrons by ponderomotive forces arising from the inhomogeneous plasmon field. By exploring the dependence of the THz emission on the femtosecond pulse intensity and as a function of metal nanoparticle morphology, and by comparing measurements to numerical modeling, we are able to verify the role of the particle plasmon mode in this process.

Nanoscale structuring of metal films enhances THz emission.
“subsequent investigations found enhanced THz emission due to nanoscale structuring, including with gratings175–177, randomly-distributed nanostructuring178–182, and precision lithographically-defined nanostructure arrays159,178 (Fig. 8a).”

THz emission spectroscopy provides new capabilities for studying ultrafast dynamics of charges moving within materials (internal photocurrents) and in free space (external photocurrents), with the benefit of operating at ambient pressures rather than high or ultrahigh vacuum.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
