Intracavity THz Generation Using a Thin Lithium Niobate Plate in a Compact Kerr-Lens Mode-Locked Yb:CALGO Bulk Oscillator

Abstract We demonstrate intracavity terahertz (THz) generation via optical rectification in a 50-µm-thick lithium niobate crystal placed inside a compact diode-pumped Kerr-lens mode-locked (KLM) Yb:CALGO bulk oscillator. The oscillator operates at a repetition rate of 85 MHz and...
