Abstract :
We report on the development of a high-peak-power, single-longitudinal-mode and tunable terahertz-wave parametric generation and detection using frequency conversion in a nonlinear MgO:LiNbO3 crystal at room temperature. The small footprint size is suitable for a variety of applications.
