Fotonički izvori milimetarskih i terahercnih valova i njihova primjena
This paper describes recent advances in the generation of millimeter and terahertz waves based on photonic techniques, which provides low-phase noise, wide frequency tunability, and high output power. Basic component technologies such as an optical frequency comb generator, photonic light-wave circuits for signal processing,

Exceeding octave tunable Terahertz waves with zepto-second level timing noise
Spectral purity of any millimeter wave (mmW) source is of the utmost interest
in low-noise applications. Optical synthesis via photomixing is an attractive
source for such mmWs, which usually involves expensive spectrally pure lasers
with narrow linewidths approaching monochromaticity due to their inherent
fabrication costs or specifications. Here, we report an alternative option for
enhancing the spectral purity of inexpensive semiconductor diode lasers via a
self-injection locking technique through corresponding Stokes waves from a
fiber Brillouin cavity exhibiting greatly improved phase noise levels and large
wavelength tunability of ~1.8 nm. We implement a system with two self-injected
diode lasers on a common Brillouin cavity aimed at difference frequency
generation in the mmW and THz region. We generate tunable sub-mmW (0.3 and 0.5
THz) waves by beating the self-injected two wavelength Stokes light on a
uni-travelling carrier photodiode and characterize the noise performance. The
sub-mmW features miniscule timing noise levels in the zepto-second (zs.Hz^-0.5)
scale outperforming the state of the art dissipative Kerr soliton based
micro-resonator setups while offering broader frequency tunability. These
results suggest a viable inexpensive alternative for mmW sources aimed at
low-noise applications featuring lab-scale footprints and rack-mounted
portability while paving the way for chip-scale photonic integration.Comment: 31 page
