摘要
We experimentally demonstrated the scalability of the terahertz (THz)-wave parametric oscillator by using a pump beam with a wide aperture and a high pulse energy. THz-wave absorption by the LiNbO3 crystal in the oscillator is substantially suppressed by employing a surface-emitting cavity configuration. We also improved the conversion efficiency by increasing the parametric interaction in the noncollinear phase-matching geometry. A pump depletion of 54% and a conversion efficiency of 0.9 x 10(-6) are achieved. A maximum THz output of 382 nJ/pulse was achieved at 1.46 THz using a 8.0 mm-diameter pump beam with a pulse energy of 465 mJ/pulse. [DOI: 10.2971/jeos.2010.10054]
