Abstract :
An integrated photonic chip allows for full control of the THz signal in cw THz photomixing systems. This THz control unit does provide direct access to the THz amplitude and phase via standard electronics as well as continuous tuning of the beat frequency over a frequency range larger than 1 THz.
