Strong THz to IR thermal radiation from random metallic nanostructures by femtosecond laser excitation

We report intense (~10 mW), ultra-broadband (~150 THz wide), terahertz-to-infrared, Gaussian-wavefront emission from nanopore-structured metallic thin films under femtosecond laser pulse irradiation. The proposed underlying mechanism is thermal radiation. The nanostructures of the metal film are produced by random holes in the substrate. Under pulse-train femtosecond laser irradiation, we found dramatically enhanced optical absorption, with an absorptivity that was equal to as much as 95% of the metallic surface nanostructure, due to both an antireflection mechanism and dissipation of excited surface plasmon polaritons into the metal surface.
