Abstract
A method of generating THz radiation includes the steps of generating optical input radiation with an input radiation source device (), irradiating a first conversion crystal device () with the optical input radiation, wherein the first conversion crystal device () is arranged in a single pass configuration, and generating the THz radiation having a THz frequency in the first conversion crystal device () in response to the optical input radiation by an optical-to-THz-conversion process, wherein a multi-line frequency spectrum is provided by the optical input radiation in the first conversion crystal device (), and the optical-to-THz-conversion process includes cascaded difference frequency generation using the multi-line frequency spectrum. Furthermore, a THz source apparatus being configured for generating THz radiation and applications thereof are described.
