Abstract

A frequency electromagnetic radiation generation system including: a non linear crystal producing THz frequency electromagnetic radiation; a fundamental beam that interacts with the non linear crystal thereby emitting a THz frequency electromagnetic radiation emission; a silicon intermediary coupled to the non linear crystal for output channeling the THz frequency electromagnetic radiation emission to an output environment; the system utilising a fundamental beam which has a photon energy below the bandgap energy of silicon.
