摘要：

We demonstrate intracavity terahertz generation from an output coupler of a compact dual-frequency solid state laser. The output coupler consisting of unbonded and stacked GaP plates is used as a second-order nonlinear medium where the difference-frequency generation takes place. When quasi-phase matching is achieved within the alternatively rotated GaP plates, terahertz output power is significantly enhanced compared with that for the corresponding external-cavity configuration.
