摘要
Tunable Terahertz Source (TTS) is being developed for commercial use by Vermont Photonics under exclusive license. The TTS is based on the Smith-Purcell free electron laser first reported by the late Professor John E. Walsh and his co-workers [1]. The TTS is continuously tunable from less than 0.3 Thz to more than 3 Thz (10-100 cm(-1)). It can be operated CW or pulsed, with repetition rates from DC to kHz. Detailed output characteristics will be presented along with examples of use in spectroscopy systems using a grating monochromator, a Fourier transform interferometer or a scanning Fabry Perot etalon. A comparison with other Thz sources will be given.
