Abstract
Two-color semiconductor external cavity laser concepts for terahertz (THz) generation are discussed. By defining three critical characteristics, various two-color laser configurations are experimentally classified with respect to the application of THz generation. According to our experimental results, we suggest a new two-color laser configuration. It is based on an external cavity with an etalon.
