Compact & Ultra-High Resolution Terahertz Spectroscopic/Fingerprint System

Abstract

Report developed under topic #A10A-T013, contract W911NF-11-C-005. In Phase I, NP Photonics has successfully demonstrated the feasibility to implement the proposed fiber-based, compact, tunable, THz spectroscopic/fingerprinting system. We have achieved 0.212 mJ fiber laser pulses with transform-limited linewidth, bonded QPM-GaP crystals and the proposed THz crystal fiber converters for high power parametric THz source, THz waveguide modeling for high efficiency and high power THz generation, THz power 0.339 mW based on an external cavity enhancement. We have successfully demonstrated room temperature THz detection based-on THz upconversion by using the QPM-GaP crystal that will be used to develop the fiber-based high-resolution THz spectrometer in Phase II.
