A High-power Frequency-stabilized Tunable Two-frequency Diode Laser System for Generation of Coherent Terahertz-wave by Photomixing
A tunable two-frequemcy high-power diode laser system at 850 nm for terahertz (Thz)wave generation by photomixing in lowtemperature-grown GaAs photo-conductors has been developed. The difference frequency is obtained through a three laser system, where two lasers are locked to different orders of a Fabry-Perot cavity and a third is offset-locked to the first, The difference-frequency signal is ...
متن کاملSpectroscopic applications and frequency locking of THz photomixing with distributed-Bragg-reflector diode lasers in low-temperature-grown GaAs
A compact, narrow-linewidth, tunable source of THz radiation has been developed for spectroscopy and other high-resolution applications. Distributed-Bragg-reflector ~DBR! diode lasers at 850 nm are used to pump a low-temperature-grown GaAs photomixer. Resonant optical feedback is employed to stabilize the center frequencies and narrow the linewidths of the DBR lasers. The heterodyne linewidth f...
متن کاملA Tunable Cavity-Locked Diode Laser Source for Terahertz Photomixing
An all solid-state approach to the precise frequency synthesis and control of widely tunable terahertz radiation by differencing continuous-wave diode lasers at 850 nm is reported in this paper. The difference frequency is synthesized by three fiber-coupled external-cavity laser diodes. Two of the lasers are Pound–Drever–Hall locked to different orders of a Fabry–Perot (FP) cavity, and the thir...
متن کاملGeneration of tunable continuous-wave terahertz radiation by photomixing the signal waves of a dual-crystal optical parametric oscillator
We present a continuous-wave dual-crystal optical parametric oscillator that generates signal waves of about 1.4μmwavelength with a tunable difference frequency 1ν between 0.64 and 5.3 THz. A model of the parametric gain in such a system indicates that the lowest reachable value for 1ν depends on the refractive index dispersion of the nonlinear material used. As a proof of principle, we demonst...
متن کاملEnhanced tunable narrow-band THz emission from laser-modulated electron beams
Abstract We propose and analyze a scheme to generate enhanced narrow-band terahertz (THz) radiation through down-conversion of the frequency of optical lasers using laser-modulated electron beams. In the scheme the electron beam is first energy modulated by two lasers with wave numbers k1 and k2, respectively. After passing through a dispersion section, the energy modulation is converted to den...
