Abstract

We demonstrate tunable narrowband THz generation by optical rectification of a femtosecond pulse in Orientation Patterned Gallium Phosphide. Center frequencies of 0.9-3.8 THz with average power up to 15 μW were achieved using a 1.064 μm fiber laser for the pump laser. Biomolecular characterization for an early application of this system is also shown in this work by anisotropic spectroscopic signature detection of molecular crystals in the THz region.
