TERAHERTZ CONTINUOUS WAVE GENERATOR

摘要

A terahertz continuous wave generator includes: an optical intensity modulator configured to modulate an optical signal into DSB optical signals; a local oscillator configured to generate a modulation signal for modulating the optical signal inputted to the optical intensity modulator into DSB optical signals; a notch filter configured to filter an optical signal with a specific frequency; an optical fiber amplifier configured to amplify an output signal of the optical intensity modulator; an optical circulator configured to transmit the optical signal inputted to the optical fiber amplifier to the notch filter and transmit the optical signal reflected from the notch filter to an input of the optical intensity modulator; an optical coupler configured to apply the optical signal to the optical intensity modulator; and an OE converter configured to photomix the DSB signals outputted through the notch filter.
