Terahertz-Source for Studies of High Density Plasmas and Plasma Photonic Crystals
Abstract
Through the purchase of a state-of-the-art THz sources from Toptica Phontonics, Stanford University will be able to study the interaction of terahertz (THz) waves with plasma structures, plasma-embedded THz devices, and dense plasma photonic crystals. With this instrumentation, Stanford will be able to conduct a broad set of research and study goals such as; EM wave-plasma interactions in dense plasma structures, such as plasma deflagration discharges (which self-generate strong magnetic fields and undergo current collapse generating very high density plasm jets), laser-produced plasmas (with and without magnetic fields), atmospheric pressure RF plasmas of high density, in pulsed plasmas generated in supercritical fluids, and in magnetized and non-magnetized plasmas generated within the discharges of space propulsion devices.
