Abstract :
A monochromatic THz radiation source with broadband tunability utilizing N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (BNA) crystal has been developed. BNA quality was improved by applying solution growth method instead of melt method. BNA-THz source using difference frequency generation was further optimized.
