摘要
A technique to generate terahertz radiation is disclosed, where a pump beam (12) is coupled into an optical element (50) made of a medium with non-linear optical properties having plane-parallel front and rear boundary surfaces (51, 52), wherein the pump beam (12) is split into a set of partial pump beams (121) by reflection and/or diffraction on a periodic relief structure (53) of said optical element (50). The partial pump beams travels along a direction at an angle γ that satisfies the velocity matching condition of vp,cs, cos(γ)=vTHz,f within the given medium, where vp;cs is the group velocity of the pump beam, vTHz;f is the phase velocity of the terahertz radiation and the speed a planar envelope (212) travels toward the front boundary surface (51) of the optical element (50), and γ is the angle formed by the pulse front envelope and the phase front of the pump beam.
