以MgO:LiNbO3为非线性光学介质,通过采用一种高性能腔反射镜实现了一种85mm短腔长的法布里-珀罗式的光学参量振荡器,产生THz电磁波的实验结果.这种短腔长THz参量振荡器比传统的160mm腔长的振荡阈值降低了22.3%;峰值能量提高了170%;频率调谐范围从0.5—2.4THz提高到0.8—3.1THz.还报道了一种基于平面金属丝网的法布里-珀罗干涉仪测量THz波线宽的实验结果.
We realized a 85mm short cavity Fabry-Perot optical parametric oscillator by using high performance reflection mirror, and the experimental results of the THz wave output with this 85mm short cavity parametric oscillator based on the MgO: LiNbO3 Crystal are reported. Compared with the conventional 160mm parametric oscillator, the threshold decreases by 22.3 %, the peak energy output of THz wave increases by 170%, the frequency tuning range increases from 0.5-2.4THz to 0.8-3.0THz. The THz wave linewidth was measured by using a Fabry-Perot interferemeter based on the metal mesh plate.
