  • Abstract
    In conclusion we have demonstrated a diode-pumped THz laser with very low (3.8 W) diode pump threshold. We have studied the idler properties of our intracavity TPO and predicted the properties of the THz radiation generated in the MgO:LiNbO3. Our ongoing work is to use silicon prisms, to couple out the THz radiation, and enable direct measurements of the extracted THz radiation.
