  • Abstract
    A high-efficiency etalon operated in the THz region has been proposed to generate a THz pulse train. To achieve high-conversion efficiency to the pulse train, an optical shutter is employed in this etalon. A THz pulse train and its comb-shaped spectrum have been realized by the use of the proposed etalon with the optical shutter.
