Abstract:
Provided is a frequency-tunable terahertz light source device. The frequency-tunable terahertz light source device satisfies a Littrow diffraction condition at a wavelength and simultaneously satisfies a Littman-Metcalf diffraction condition at another wavelength using a double diffraction grating having two grating periods. Thus, oscillations simultaneously occur at the two different wavelengths, such that a terahertz wave can be stably generated by beating of the two oscillation wavelengths. In addition, the frequency-tunable terahertz light source device can readily change a frequency up to several terahertz and can be fabricated in a small size.
