Abstract

This paper reports on the temperature-dependent investigation of linear and nonlinear transmission/absorption characteristics of CdTe crystal in the 300–408 K range using 780–970 nm tunable wavelengths of 140 fs pulses obtained from a Ti:Sapphire laser at 80 MHz repetition rate. The same pulses were also used for terahertz generation. The linear transmission/absorption properties were measured using a specially improvised temperature-tuned spectrophotometer in the 500–1500 nm wavelength range. The linear absorption of 750 nm wavelength gradually increases with respect to a rise in the temperature, and transmission becomes zero at 408 K. Nonlinear absorption induced by femtosecond pulses shows a sudden drop of 18% in transmission above the 800 nm range, due to electron–phonon interaction, which affects the strength of the terahertz signal. It is also responsible for change in the temperature along with the linear shift in the refractive index of the crystal.
