Efficient Broadband Terahertz Generation from Organic Crystal BNA Using Near Infrared Pump

We are reporting on terahertz generation from organic crystal BNA using a 1.15 to 1.55 um near infrared pump. We observed a very large emission spectrum extending up to 7 THz, compared to 2.5 THz from Ti:Sa pump in previous reports. The maximum optical-to-THz conversion efficiency in our experiment was 0.8% at 1 kHz repetition rate and without saturation leading to a peak electric field of 1 GV/m. Our results show pronounced phase matching privilege for intense terahertz generation using a pump in the 1.15 to 1.25 um range where high energy near infrared pump sources operate.

Interplay of Magnetic Exchange Interactions and Ni-S-Ni Bond Angles in Polynuclear Nickel(II) Complexes

The ability of bridging thiophenolate groups to transmit magnetic exchange interactions between paramagnetic Ni(II) ions has been examined. For this purpose, dinuclear and trinuclear Ni(II)-complexes were prepared and fully characterized by IR- and UV-vis spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, static magnetization measurements and high-field electron spin resonance (HF-ESR). We compare structural and magnetic properties of the two Ni(II)-complexes and discuss the relationships between magnetic interactions and chemical bonding.
