0.84 TeraHertz Self Modulation in a Dual Transverse Mode 980nm Laser
23 May 1999
There has been considerable interest over the last several years in convenient sources of THz radiation. Several schemes including wavemixing of selected longitudinal modes of a multiple longitudinal mode diode laser, self beating of a two longitudinal mode DBR laser, and passive harmonic modelocking of a diode laser have been used to create THz modulated light for use in driving photomixers to generate THz energy.
