研究目的
Investigating the potential of CO laser down-conversion into the THz range using ZnGeP2 crystal for high-power, frequency-tunable coherent sources.
研究成果
It was found that multi-line CO laser down-conversion in a ZnGeP2 crystal is significantly limited by the crystal absorption in THz range. Optimal phase-matching angle is shifted due to the absorption. High-power nanosecond CO laser pulses or frequency-selective CO laser radiation could enhance the efficiency.
研究不足
The capability of multi-line CO laser down-conversion in a ZnGeP2 crystal is significantly limited by the crystal absorption in THz range. Maximal calculated frequency conversion efficiency was up to 0.006% which is 40 times less due to absorption versus potentially achieved.
