Optoelectronic difference-frequency synthesiser: terahertz-waves for high-resolution spectroscopy

Abstract: Abstract. We demonstrate a simple approach for a difference-frequency synthesiser within the terahertz domain. Two near-infrared CW diode lasers are frequency-locked to the resonances of a high finesse Fabry-Perot cavity using the Pound-Drever-Hall technique. Two acousto-optic modulators driven by RF synthesizers frequency-shift each diode laser and provide continuous tuning, modulation and switching capabilities for the difference-frequency. Terahertz-waves generated by heterodyne mixing in an ultrahighbandwi… Show more

“…This type of system has successfully been applied to distributed Bragg reflector lasers yielding a final tuning range of 3 GHz and an accuracy of 10 −7 [ 31 ]. The second method that has been demonstrated uses acousto-optic modulators to provide a tuning range in the order of 10 MHz [ 32 ].…”
