摘要:

详细分析和比较了CdTe、GaP、GaAs和InP介质波导在太赫兹波段的模式相位匹配光差频产生(DFG)。从DFG方程的形式出发,我们导出了一个非常一般的品质因数(FOM)的定义。反过来,这种FOM使我们能够比较不同的配置,考虑到线性和非线性的磁化率色散,太赫兹吸收,并严格评估波导模式的属性。最有效的波导发现与此过程中预测接近量子效率极限与输入光功率的顺序为kWs。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed analysis and comparison of dielectric waveguides made of CdTe, GaP, GaAs and InP for modal phase matched optical difference frequency generation (DFG) in the terahertz domain. From the form of the DFG equations, we derived the definition of a very general figure of merit (FOM). In turn, this FOM enabled us to compare different configurations, by taking into account linear and nonlinear susceptibility dispersion, terahertz absorption, and a rigorous evaluation of the waveguide modes properties. The most efficient waveguides found with this procedure are predicted to approach the quantum efficiency limit with input optical power in the order of kWs.
