Abstract:

We have demonstrated a compact, high-energy and broadly tunable monochromatic terahertz (THz) source with the dimensional size of 40 cm×25 cm, based on difference frequency generation (DFG) in DAST crystal, grown in two-zone growth method. The THz frequency was tuned randomly and rapidly in the range of 0.3~19.6 THz due to the widely tunable KTP-OPO and galvano-optical beam scanner. The highest pulse energy of 4.02 μJ was obtained at 18.6THz in our system. And the highest signal to noise ratio of 32.24 dB was realized at 4.3 THz using 4K-Bolometer detector. Furthermore, the characteristics of THz polarization and divergence angle were measured experimentally. Saturation phenomenon for THz output was observed and studied. Moreover, the transmission THz spectroscopies of materials in solid state were measured with the ultra-wideband tunable THz source based on DAST crystal.
