Abstract :
We demonstrate a frequency swept optical beat source for high speed continuous wave THz generation. The range of the sweeping bandwidth is about 2.16 THz (17.3 nm). And we observe CW THz waveforms for several static optical beat sources using a fiber coupled CW THz measurement system in order to confirm the feasibility of our frequency swept optical beat source as a CW THz radiation source.
