Terahertz Generation and its Limitations in Lithium Niobate by Optical Rectification

We investigate terahertz generation in lithium niobate via optical rectification using tilted-pulse-fronts in 800 nm wavelength. We obtain a 0.12% efficiency and verify the cascading effect with angular dispersion is the limitations to THz generation.
