Abstract
Abstract. THz generation by difference frequency generation can be accomplished by many different laser systems. The most cost efficient and compact solution will be monolithic dual-colour lasers. Application of these lasers in THz metrology can suffer from several drawbacks like coupling between the modes, strong amplitude variations, low tuning capabilities, or a complicated growth process. We discuss the impact of these points for THz measurements and present a simple monolithic dual colour laser which can be used for material characterisations.
