Abstract

It is shown that terahertz radiation (0.1-3 THz) can be effectively generated via optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses in a system of a “nonlinear-optical crystal partially filling the cross section of a rectangular metal waveguide”. The numerical calculations for the phase-matching in LiNbO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sub> , ZnTe, DAST and GaSe nonlinear optical crystals have been performed. The influence of THz radiation absorption on the efficiency of generation of coherent THz radiation in the system has been investigated.
