High-Field High-Repetition-Rate Sources for the Coherent THz Control of Matter.


ABSTRACT: Ultrashort flashes of THz light with low photon energies of a few meV, but strong electric or magnetic field transients have recently been employed to prepare various fascinating nonequilibrium states in matter. Here we present a new class of sources based on superradiant enhancement of radiation from relativistic electron bunches in a compact electron accelerator that we believe will revolutionize experiments in this field. Our prototype source generates high-field THz pulses at unprecedented quasi-continuous-wave repetition rates up to the MHz regime. We demonstrate parameters that exceed state-of-the-art laser-based sources by more than 2 orders of magnitude. The peak fields and the repetition rates are highly scalable and once fully operational this type of sources will routinely provide 1?MV/cm electric fields and 0.3 T magnetic fields at repetition rates of few 100?kHz. We benchmark the unique properties by performing a resonant coherent THz control experiment with few 10 fs resolution.
