Abstract :
We model the coupling of THz radiation between a microdisk (MD) resonator and free-space. This is relevant for a new class of THz emitters based on difference-frequency mixing between two laser modes in an MD resonator. We show efficient coupling between the MD TM mode and the free-space TE mode.
