Compact and portable terahertz source by mixing two frequencies generated simultaneously by single solid-state laser

By mixing two frequencies generated from a single Q-switched Nd:YLF laser in a GaSe crystal, an average terahertz output power reaches 1 μW within a bandwidth of 65 GHz at 1.64 THz.
