Abstract :
We report on a terahertz-wave generation and detection system based on nonlinear parametric conversion. Tunable terahertz-waves are generated by high peak power, narrowband injection-seeded terahertz-wave parametric generator, and then, detected by frequency up-conversion in a nonlinear MgO:LiNbO3 crystal.
