摘要
We report a low-threshold, narrow-line THz-wave parametric oscillator with an intra-cavity grazing-incidence grating and a 1-mm thick, 45-mm long lithium-niobate planar waveguide. When pumped by an actively Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, the threshold energy and intensity of the parametric oscillator were about 2.2 mJ and 70 MW/cm 2 , respectively. The linewidths of the output THz wave were 12 and 134 GHz with and without the intra-cavity grating, respectively. © 2008 Optical Society of America.
