The invention discloses a
parametric oscillator for enhancing terahertz
waves. The
parametric oscillator comprises a pumping source, a first
beam splitter prism, a second
beam splitter prism, a firstreflector, a second reflector, a third reflector, a fourth reflector, a fifth reflector, a sixth reflector, a seventh reflector and an eighth reflector. Pumping light emitted from a pumping source ischanged into transmission pumping light and reflection pumping light through the
beam splitter prisms; the transmission pumping light is vertically incident to the LiNbO3
crystal; while phase matchingconditions are satisfied, the pumping light generates
signal light in the LiNbO3
crystal through a parametric process; the
signal light is oscillated and amplified in the two resonant cavities respectively, under the action of the beam splitter prisms and the reflectors, the pumping light forms oscillation around the
crystal, and meanwhile, the pumping light and the
signal light generate multiplebeams of terahertz
waves in the crystal based on the action of optical parameters, so that the conversion efficiency from the pumping light to the terahertz
waves is improved.
