A frequency-agile terahertz-wave parametric oscillator.
We demonstrated a pulse-to-pulse frequency-tunable LiNbO3 terahertz-wave parametric oscillator, pumped with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. Rapid tuning from 1 to 2 THz, with random frequency accessibility, was achieved by rotating the pump beam angle using an optical beam scanner and a telescope.
متن کاملTerahertz-wave Parametric Sources
Terahertz waves are the electromagnetic radiation whose frequency ranges from millimeter waves to the far infrared, shown in Figure 1. While both sides of this range have had a long history of research and development, leading to already commercially available sources, detectors, meters, and many additional devices, the terahertz wave range is still in its infancy, representing the last unexplo...
متن کاملIntracavity terahertz-wave generation in a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator using quasi-phase-matched GaAs.
We generated 1 mW of average output power at 2.8 THz (bandwidth of approximately 300 GHz) in a diffraction-limited beam by placing a 6-mm-long quasi-phase-matched GaAs crystal inside the cavity of a synchronously pumped optical parametric oscillator (OPO). The OPO used type-II-phase-matched periodically poled lithium niobate as a gain medium and was pumped by a mode-locked laser at 1064 nm, wit...
متن کاملExperimental demonstration of frequency-agile terahertz metamaterials
Metamaterials exhibit numerous novel effects and operate over a large portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Metamaterial devices based on these effects include gradientindex lenses, modulators for terahertz radiation and compact waveguides. The resonant nature of metamaterials results in frequency dispersion and narrow bandwidth operation where the centre frequency is fixed by the geometry a...
متن کاملOptical parametric oscillator frequency tuning and control
The frequency-tuning and -control properties of monolithic doubly resonant optical parametric oscillators are analyzed for stable single-mode pump radiation. Single-axial-mode operation is observed on the idler and the signal for both pulsed and continuous pumping. Projections are made for tuning-parameter tolerances that are required for maintenance of stable single-frequency oscillation. Cont...
