[IEEE 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - Paris, France (2019.9.1-2019.9.6)] 2019 44th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz) - THz response of metallic structures to femtosecond laser pulses

摘要： The talk is devoted to the nonlinear effects in metallic structures (like gratings and nanoparticle arrays) irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses. Possible mechanisms of delayed THz response and specific non-quadratic nonlinear regimes of conversion are analyzed. In contrast to previous models, only low-frequency currents inside the metal are considered without involving electron emission and acceleration. Special attention is paid to the role of plasmonic resonances at optical frequency in the enhancement of low-frequency nonlinear response.
