Abstract

Terahertz parametric oscillator (TPO) using GaP as gain medium with a noncollinear phase-matching scheme is investigated. Frequency-tuning characteristics of the terahertz wave (THz-wave) by varying the phase-matching angle and pump wavelength are analyzed. Gain and absorption characteristics of the THz-wave are investigated. The characteristics of GaP and LiNbO3 (LN) are compared when the two crystals are used as gain medium for TPO. The analyses indicate that GaP is more suitable than LN to be used as gain medium for TPO.
