摘要：

We demonstrate a continuous wave, single frequency terahertz (THz) source based on parametric difference frequency generation within a nonlinear crystal located in an optical enhancement cavity. Two single-frequency VECSELs with emission wavelengths spaced by 6.8 nm are phase locked to the external cavity and are used as pump sources for the nonlinear down conversion. The emitting THz radiation is centered at 1.9 THz and has a linewidth of less than 100 kHz. The output power of the source exceeds 100 mu W. We show that the THz source can be used as local oscillator to drive a receiver used in astronomy applications.
