The invention discloses a
system and a method for generating terahertz
waves by circular Airy three-color field
laser. The
system comprises a
laser, a first spectroscope, an
optical parametric amplifier, a first reflector, a first reflective
spatial light modulator, a half-wave plate, a first focusing lens, a BBO
crystal, a first off-axis parabolic mirror, a second spectroscope, a second reflector, a second reflective
spatial light modulator and a third reflector which are sequentially arranged on a light path. Two beams of
laser are converted into circular Airy beams from
Gaussian beams through the two reflective spatial light modulators suitable for different wavelengths, and then third-frequency laser is generated through the BBO
crystal. And the circular Airy three-color field laser is focused at one point to excite the air
plasma to generate terahertz
waves. The terahertz wave energy generated by the device is relatively strong, the spectrum is relatively wide,
terahertz radiation source application and spectral measurement are facilitated, and the device has relatively strong scientific research and practical application values.
