An array of 24 optical fibers with different lengths was used to effectively tilt the wave front of a 532 nm neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser beam with a pulse duration of 33 ps. The tilted laser beam produced electron-hole surface plasma whose boundary moved at a relativistic velocity of about c/3.4 (c is the speed of light) along the slotline. The experiments showed that microwaves reflected at the moving boundary of the plasma in the slotline are converted to millimeter waves with a frequency up conversion ratio of 3.82., application/pdf}, pages = {091120-1--091120-3}, title = {Doppler frequency up conversion of electromagnetic waves in a slotline on an optically excited silicon substrate}, volume = {94}, year = {2009} }
