摘要
We present the first demonstration of a "high frequency" backward THz-wave parametric oscillator designed for a center frequency of 0.87 THz by quasi-collinear phase matching in a slant-stripe-type periodically poled lithium niobate crystal when pumped with sub-nanosecond pulsed source of lambda = 1064.44 nm. Along with the THz wave, an idler wave appears simultaneously with lambda = 1067.75 nm. We also show that the oscillation frequency is tunable by a simple crystal rotation, spanning the range of 0.836 - 0.905 THz based on the change in the spectral line separation between the pump and idler beams. The threshold pump energy for BW-TPO was determined to be 12.4 mJ, equivalent to a pump intensity of 7.24 GW/cm(2) while obtaining a conversion efficiency as high as 8.39% at a pump energy (intensity) of 15.5 mJ (9.05 GW/cm(2)).
