In this paper, frequency-stabilized laser technology is introduced into photodetector frequency response measurement system. A 1531nm frequency-stabilized laser fulfilled by acetylene saturated absorption is employed to produce coherent light with a tunable laser source, gaining stable beat frequency light that reaches as high as several hundred ghz, fulfilling measurement of 40ghz high-speed photodetector frequency response bandwidth, and lowering impacts caused by instability of light frequency. In addition, measurement uncertainty analysis is conducted, which is better than 7 %(k=2).

By using optical heterodyne technique, we demonstrated the stable emission of sub-terahertz wave with the frequency ranging from 88 GHz to 101 GHz, which can operate as microwave source for nonlinear response measurement system. Mutual frequency beating of two well-separated sideband signals at a 0.1 THz photo-detector (PD) allows for the generation of sub-terahertz signal. Based on this approach, we have achieved the radiation of 0.1 THz wave with power up to 4 mW. By transmittance measurement, two-dimensional nanomaterial topological insulator (TI: Bi2Te3) shows saturable absorption behaviors with normalized modulation depth of 47% at 0.1 THz. Our results show that optical heterodyne technique could be developed as an effective microwave source generation for nonlinear measurement at sub-terahertz, even terahertz band.
