    Area of Science:

    • Optics and Photonics
    • Terahertz (THz) Science and Technology

    Background:

    • Generating tunable terahertz (THz) signals is crucial for advanced spectroscopy and imaging.
    • Existing methods often require complex setups or multiple components.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the direct generation of a tunable THz modulation signal on an optical carrier from a single laser source.
    • To achieve a wide tuning range for THz modulation frequencies.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a two-wavelength laser-diode array to produce coaxial two-color output.
    • Varied the spectral separation of the laser output (0.32–17 nm) to control the modulation frequency.
    • Employed a noncollinear intensity autocorrelator to characterize the THz beat note frequency.
