Abstract
Broadband terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and time resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS) were performed on a 54 μm thick chalcogenide glass (As30Se30Te40) sample using a two-color laser induced air plasma THz system in transmission and reflection configurations, respectively. Two absorption modes were observed at 2–3 THz and 5–8 THz. The photo-induced conductivity can be well described by the Drude-Smith conductivity model, which shows significant carrier localization effects. A fast refractive index change was observed 100 fs before the conductivity reached its maximum with two orders of magnitude larger amplitude than expected for the optically induced THz Kerr effect, indicating that the free carriers are responsible for the transient index change.
