Conductivity Induced by High-Field Terahertz Waves in Dielectric Material.

An intense, subpicosecond, relativistic electron beam traversing a dielectric-lined waveguide generates very large amplitude electric fields at terahertz (THz) frequencies through the wakefield mechanism. In recent work employing this technique to accelerate charged particles, the generation of high-power, narrow-band THz radiation was demonstrated. The radiated waves contain fields with measured amplitude exceeding 2  GV/m, orders of magnitude greater than those available by other THz generation techniques at a narrow bandwidth. For fields approaching the GV/m level, a strong damping has been observed in SiO_{2}. This wave attenuation with an onset near 850  MV/m is consistent with changes to the conductivity of the dielectric lining and is characterized by a distinctive latching mechanism that is reversible on longer timescales. We describe the detailed measurements that serve to clarify the underlying physical mechanisms leading to strong field-induced damping of THz radiation (hω=1.59  meV, f=0.38  THz) in SiO_{2}, a bulk, wide band-gap (8.9 eV) dielectric.
