Terahertz Generators and Detectors:
Electro-Optic OH1 Crystals

OH1: (2-(3-(4-Hydroxystyryl)-5,5-dimethylcyclohex-2-enylidene)malononitrile)

Example of an as-grown OH1 crystal and organic crystals polished, coated and mounted for optical applications. OH1 and other high-quality organic crystals are produced and optically prepared in the facilities of Rainbow Photonics in Switzerland.

Features

• High quality crystals
• Cut and polished for various applications
• Large nonlinear optical susceptibilities
• Phase matching for THz generation between 1200 nm and 1460 nm

Applications

• Efficient THz generation and detection from 0.1 - 3 THz
• Fast electro-optic modulation
• Optical parametric generation
• Efficient frequency doubling of 1.55 μm radiation
