Abstract

The invention discloses terahertz wave generating device and method based on optical four-wave mixing effect, which belong to the technical field of microwave photonics. The method comprises the following steps of: driving an intensity modulator by a microwave source signal through electric frequency multiplication by using optical carrier suppression modulation of the external intensity modulator and the four-wave mixing effect in a nonlinear device, forming a carrier suppression signal with only two first-order side bands, then forming two new side bands through the nonlinear device, filtering the original first-order side bands by an optical filter, only retaining two new side bands and carrying out beat frequency on the two new side bands in a PD (Photo Detector) to generate a terahertz wave frequency with six frequency multiplications. The invention lowers the requirements of the microwave modulation signal frequency and the modulator band width and reduces the cost of a system, the generating device has simple structure and favorable portability and the generated terahertz wave has very high stability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of terahertz communication in microwave photonics technology. Background technique [0002] In recent years, terahertz waves with a frequency band of 0.1-10THz have received more and more attention. It occupies a special position in the electromagnetic spectrum, coincides with millimeter waves in the long-wave direction, and coincides with infrared rays in the short-wave direction. Moreover, terahertz waves have many unique properties compared with other wave band sources, such as wide frequency band, high measurement signal-to-noise ratio, high spatial and temporal resolution imaging and signal processing suitable for information field, large capacity and high confidentiality data transmission. , real-time and safe biological and medical diagnosis and other functions. [0003] Now people are extensively studying the application of terahertz waves in practice, and the key technology is to study the generation of high...
