CM-AMO Seminar | Synchrotron Radiation from an Accelerating Light Pulse

Roberto Merlin (U-M Physics)

Synchrotron radiation, namely, electromagnetic radiation produced by charges moving in a curved path, is regularly generated at large-scale facilities where GeV electrons move along kilometer-long circular paths. We use a metasurface to bend light and demonstrate synchrotron radiation produced by a sub-picosecond pulse, which moves along a circular arc of radius 100 µm inside a nonlinear crystal. The emitted radiation, in the THz frequency range, results from the nonlinear polarization induced by the pulse. The generation of synchrotron radiation from a pulse revolving about a circular trajectory holds promise for the development of on-chip THz sources.
