PARAMETRIC TERAHERTZ RADIATION GENERATION

An optical parametric device, for example an optical parametric generator or amplifier or oscillator, comprising a non-linear material that is operable to generate a signal and an idler wave in response to being stimulated with a pump wave, wherein the pump wave source and the non-linear medium are...

More Information
Summary:An optical parametric device, for example an optical parametric generator or amplifier or oscillator, comprising a non-linear material that is operable to generate a signal and an idler wave in response to being stimulated with a pump wave, wherein the pump wave source and the non-linear medium are provided in the same optical cavity and the non-linear medium is such that the pump, idler and signal waves are non-collinear. Alternatively, the non-linear medium is provided in an optical cavity that resonates the pump wave, and the pump wave and the generated idler and signal waves are non-collinear.
