Multicycle pulsed Terahertz radiation has appealing applications in medicine, applications in medicine, biology, material science, and could power emerging laser-based table-top accelerators and diagnostics. However a simple way to generate such pulses with high energy is not straightforward. The authors report on generation of high-peak-intensity THz pulses using a Lithium-Niobate wafer-chain and achieving a 35 megawatt in peak intensity.
