DSTMS Organic Crystal

Name: DSTMS Organic Crystal
Brand: Swiss Terahertz

4-N,N-dimethylamino-4’-N’-methyl-stilbazolium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate

DSTMS generates and detects terahertz. A 34 mJ near-infrared OPA pump gives 85 MV/cm. Its optical-to-THz energy efficiency is slightly higher than DAST; DAST keeps the broader spectrum and the higher damage threshold.

Comparison With Sister DAST Crystal


Optical properties	DSTMS and DAST have similar optical properties
Efficiency	DSTMS optical to THz energy efficiency is slightly higher than DAST
Peak field	DAST could show higher peak electric field because of the broader spectrum than DSTMS
Damage threshold	DAST has higher damage threshold than DSTMS
