摘要：
The efficiency of a simply designed cavity for optically pumped pulsed terahertz lasers is studied experimentally. A coated Ge and a crystal quartz act as the input and output windows, respectively. The thickness of the Ge window is designed according to etalon effects to maximize terahertz reflectivity. NH3 is filled in the cavity as the active medium. When NH3 is pumped by the 10P(32) line of a TEA CO2 laser, intense 151.5 mu m terahertz radiation is emitted. As high as 19.6 mJ terahertz radiation is extracted from 1.57 J pump energy. The corresponding photon conversion efficiency reaches 35.3%. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
