摘　　要：从非线性光学基本原理出发研究了整形超短激光脉冲与硒化镓晶体光整流效应产生的可调谐宽带太赫兹辐射,并采用数值计算对上述过程进行了仿真研究,探索了整形激光脉冲参数对太赫兹辐射的影响。研究发现,利用4F整形系统调节激光频谱分量获得的整形超短激光脉冲与硒化镓晶体的光整流效应可以产生频谱可调的宽带太赫兹辐射,并且可以使太赫兹脉冲的中心频率由高频部分向低频部分调制,同时带宽也会发生一定的变化。Objective Terahertz wave refers to the electromagnetic wave whose frequency and wavelength are in the ranges of 0.1-10.0 THz and 30-3000μm,respectively.Throughout the entire electromagnetic spectrum,the terahertz band is located between electronics and optical bands,so it is also called the"terahertz gap".Terahertz wave has some special properties due to its special band,such as low energy,high penetration,and transient.With the development of research and the maturity of technology,terahertz wave has shown bright application prospects in material science,biomedicine,imaging,and communication in recent years.Broadband terahertz radiation source is an important basis for spectral technology in the terahertz band.Therefore,it is of great significance to develop broadband terahertz radiation sources.Since GaSe crystal has a high light transmission and a small absorption coefficient,it has a good application in the generation and detection of broadband terahertz radiation.In this study,GaSe crystal is used to generate tunable broadband terahertz pulses through the optical rectification effect,which provides new ideas for the generation of tunable broadband terahertz pulse radiation.Methods In light of nonlinear optics,this paper studies the tunable broadband terahertz radiation generated through the optical rectification effect of shaped ultrashort laser pulses interacting with GaSe crystal,and the process is simulated by numerical calculations.It is found that by adjusting the laser spectrum component with a 4F shaping system,some components whose wavelengths are greater thanλ1 in the frequency domain are blocked and truncated.Different shaped ultrashort laser pulses are obtained by varying the value ofλ1.The adjustable shaped pulses and the optical rectification effect of GaSe crystal can be utilized to produce tunable broadband terahertz radiation.This scheme makes the center frequency of the terahertz pulse modulated from the high frequency to the low frequency,and the bandwidth is also changed.Results and Dis
