Paper Abstract
We developed parametric generation of terahertz (THz) wave based on noncollinear phase-matching condition in 5
mol% MgO-doped LiNbO3 (MgO:LN) crystal synchronously pumped by a low-power mode-locked picosecond
Ti:sapphire laser whose average output power was less than 1 W in simple external enhancement cavity. Considering the
idler (Stokes) light made an angle of approximately 1 degree with the pump light corresponding to the noncollinear
phase-matching condition, we built the extremely-simple doubly-resonant cavity, which composed of only four mirrors,
in which the idler light was resonated as well as the pump light simultaneously without any feedback systems for the
idler light to reduce the pumping threshold of the THz wave parametric process. As a result, we obtained a broad output
THz wave at around 0.9 THz confirmed by Michelson interferometer and achieved the pumping threshold of peak
intensity of 50 MW/cm2. This threshold is, to the best of our knowledge, the lowest value of externally pumped THz
wave parametric oscillation.
