摘要
We experimentally demonstrate a high power nanosecond pulsed terahertz(THz)-wave parametric oscillator(TPO)by using a wide pump beam.A surface emitted cavity configuration is employed to reduce the THz absorption in MgO:LiNbO_(3) crystal.The THz wave can be tuned from 1 THz to 3 THz.A maximum THz output energy of 438 nJ/pulse is achieved at 1.56 Hz using a 4.5-mm-diameter pump beam with a pulse energy of 226 mJ pump energy with the repetition of 10 Hz,corresponding to the energy conversion efficiency of 1.94×10^(-6).
