Abstract
An output coupler for optically pumped terahertz laser consisting of capacitive strip-grating and wedged high-resistivity silicon substrate is designed theoretically and its transmittance performance is also discussed. The etalon effects frequently occurring in previous experiments are effectively suppressed, and thus a flat and accurate transmittance spectrum is obtained in a narrow wavenumber interval of 2 cm−1 near a particular center wavenumber. Furthermore the transmittance sensitivity to the slight shift of substrate thickness is also completely eliminated. The wedged output coupler is easy to fabricate and its substrate may be used repeatedly to meet various transmittance requirements.
