We have developed a continuous wave THz Signal Generator on the principle of Difference Frequency Generation in a GaP crystal and constructed a high accurate CW THz spectrometer using it as a light source. Combining with a bolometer detector cooled by a mechanical cooler, the spectrometer is now working as non-stop system. Increasing the power of CW THz wave up to 100 nW, uncooled detector or camera is now available. This is the first report of CW THz beam observation generated at the surface of GaP crystal.

The characteristics of terahertz (THz) generation based on cascaded difference frequency generation (DFG) process in periodically inverted gallium arsenide ( GaAs ) and gallium phosphide ( GaP ) is calculated from coupled wave equations, in which the output enhancement factors are 5.4 and 3.9 in the two crystals, respectively, compared with DFG without cascading. The optimal interaction length, influence of crystal absorption, wave vector mismatch and pump intensity are analyzed. A short discussion on wavelength tuning is also given. The calculated optimal operating parameters and conclusions can provide good directions for the experimental design.
