Synchrotron radiation—namely, electromagnetic radiation produced by charges moving in a
curved path—is regularly generated at large-scale facilities where giga–electron volt
electrons move along kilometer-long circular paths. We use a metasurface to bend light and
demonstrate synchrotron radiation produced by a subpicosecond pulse, which moves along
a circular arc of radius 100 micrometers inside a nonlinear crystal. The emitted radiation, in
the terahertz frequency range, results from the nonlinear polarization induced by the pulse …
Synchrotron radiation—namely, electromagnetic radiation produced by charges moving in a curved path—is regularly generated at large-scale facilities where giga–electron volt electrons move along kilometer-long circular paths. We use a metasurface to bend light and demonstrate synchrotron radiation produced by a subpicosecond pulse, which moves along a circular arc of radius 100 micrometers inside a nonlinear crystal. The emitted radiation, in the terahertz frequency range, results from the nonlinear polarization induced by the pulse. The generation of synchrotron radiation from a pulse revolving about a circular trajectory holds promise for the development of on-chip terahertz sources.
