摘要
Terahertz (THz) sources, ranging from 0.1 THz to 10 THz, between microwaves and infrared waves, have important applications in spectral detection, medical imaging, communication, etc. Difference frequency generation (DFG) is an effective method for generating terahertz with the characteristics of low cost, simple structure, widely tunable range, no threshold, and room-temperature operation. This paper reviews various optical terahertz sources of difference frequency generation based on nonlinear crystals, including DFG with inorganic crystals, DFG with organic crystals, DFG with quasi-phase-matching (QPM) crystals, DFG in waveguides, cavity-enhanced DFG, and cascaded DFG. Their recent advances, as well as their advantages and disadvantages, are fully present and discussed. This review is expected to provide a comprehensive reference for researchers in this field and a quick understanding of optical THz sources of difference frequency generation with nonlinear crystals.
