Outline of Final Research Achievements

A frequency tunable, narrow band, high intense THz wave generation system has been develoed. This system can be used for simultaneous measurement of waveform and pulse energy, and can produce frequency and bandwidth tunable multi-cycle THz pulses by optical rectification of femtosecond laser pulses using binary phase mask and lithium niobate single crystal. The central frequency can be tuned by varying period of the phase mask. The power of generated narrow band THz wave can be measured using a superconducting edge triggered bolometer. Uncooled microbolometer-based THz imagers were characterized using that system.
