Y-shaped tunable monolithic dual colour lasers for THz technology
THz generation by difference frequency generation can be accomplished by many different laser systems. The most cost efficient and compact solution will be monolithic dual-colour lasers. Application of these lasers in THz metrology can suffer from several drawbacks like coupling between the modes, strong amplitude variations, low tuning capabilities, or a complicated growth process. We discuss the impact of these points for THz measurements and present a simple monolithic dual colour laser which can be used for material characterisations.</p
Near Infrared Diode Laser THz Systems
The generation and detection of radiation in the THz frequency range can be
achieved with many different electronic and photonic concepts. Among the many
different photonic THz systems the most versatile are based on diode lasers.
In this paper we describe and review the different concepts and optimization
ideas for diode laser based THz systems in order to achieve the best
performance for different types of THz setups.</p
