Meanwhile the expression of TPO threshold pump intensity is derived and theoretically analyzed with different factors. The effective interaction length between the pump wave and Stokes wave is calculated, and particular attention is paid to the coupling efficiency of the pump wave and Stokes wave. Such an analysis is useful for the experiments of TPO.展开更多
An asymmetric quantum well (AQW) is designed to emit a terahertz (THz) wave by using difference frequency generation (DFG) with the structure of GaAs/Al_(0.2)Ga_(0.8)As/Al_(0.5) Ga_(0.5)As under a doubly resonant cond...An asymmetric quantum well (AQW) is designed to emit a terahertz (THz) wave by using difference frequency generation (DFG) with the structure of GaAs/Al_(0.2)Ga_(0.8)As/Al_(0.5) Ga_(0.5)As under a doubly resonant condition.It is found that the second-order nonlinear susceptibility χ^((2)) varies with the two pump wavelengths,and it can reach the peak value of 1.61 μm/V when the wavelengths are given as λ_(p1) =9.756 μm and λ_(p2) =10.96 μm,respectively.The numerical results show that the refractive index of one pump wave in the AQW is concerned with not only its own wavelength but also the other wavelength.Phase-matching inside the AQW can be obtained through the tuning of the two pump wavelengths.展开更多
