  • Abstract
    We present our theoretical and experimental work on Cherenkov phase-matched monochromatic THz difference frequency generation. A theoretical model is developed by solving wave equation via spatial Fourier expansion. Cherenkov-type THz-wave is generated with LiNbO3 crystal. A tuning range of 0.1-5.5THz is achieved, with highest energy of 0.56nJ/pulse.
