Abstract

The narrow linewidth operation of a THz-wave parametric oscillator was achieved through the use of narrow linewidth laser injection. THz-wave parametric oscillation, generated by a LiNbO3 crystal pumped with a single longitudinal mode Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, was injection seeded with a continuous-wave Yb:fiber laser. The measured THz-wave linewidth was 200 MHz, which corresponded to the measurement resolution limit.
