Cherenkov Phase Matched Monochromatic Tunable Terahertz Wave Generation
Terahertz (THz) waves present attractive possibilities in advanced applications including biomedical analysis and stand-off detection for hazardous materials. The development of monochromatic and tunable coherent THz-wave sources is of great interest for use in these applications. Recently, a parametric process based on second-order nonlinearities was used to generate tunable monochromatic cohe...
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 کاملTunable terahertz-wave generation from DAST crystal by dual signal-wave parametric oscillation of periodically poled lithium niobate.
The first known demonstration of tunable terahertz-wave generation by difference-frequency generation of dual signal-wave quasi-phase-matched optical parametric oscillation was performed with periodically poled LiNbO(3) (PPLN) with a series of gratings. An organic ionic salt, 4-dimethylamino-N-methyl-4-stilbazolium-tosylate (DAST), was used as a nonlinear crystal. A compact terahertz-wave sourc...
متن کاملUse of the organic crystal DAST for terahertz beam applications.
We report the use of the organic crystal DAST as a freely propagating electromagnetic-wave sensor at terahertz (THz) frequency. We also report the result of using a DAST crystal as a mid-IR THz emitter. Compared with the optical rectification from our best ZnTe emitter, that obtained by use of DAST demonstrates a sixfold enhancement of radiation at 7-20 THz.
متن کاملDesign of a continuous-wave tunable terahertz source using waveguide-phase-matched GaAs.
A novel source of continuous-wave terahertz radiation based on difference frequency generation (DFG) in GaAs crystal is proposed. Phase matching is provided using integration of appropriate optical and terahertz waveguides based on dispersive properties of GaAs. The output frequency can be tuned between 0-3.5 THz by tuning the incident wavelengths in the range of 1.5-1.6 microm.
