A broadly tunable THz source is realized via difference frequency generation, in which an enhancement to chi((3)) that is obtained via resonant excitation of III-V semiconductor quantum well excitons is utilized. The symmetry of the quantum wells (QWs) is broken by utilizing the built-in electric-field across a p-i-n junction to produce effective chi((2)) processes, which are derived from the high.(3). This.(2) media exhibits an onset of nonlinear processes at similar to 4 W cm(-2), thereby enabling area (and, hence, power) scaling of the THz emitter. Phase matching is realized laterally through normal incidence excitation. Using two collimated 130 mW continuous wave (CW) semiconductor lasers with similar to 1-mm beam diameters, we realize monochromatic THz emission that is tunable from 0.75 to 3 THz and demonstrate the possibility that this may span 0.2-6 THz with linewidths of similar to 20 GHz and efficiencies of similar to 1 x 10(-5), thereby realizing similar to 800 nW of THz power. Then, transmission spectroscopy of atmospheric features is demonstrated, thereby opening the way for compact, low-cost, swept-wavelength THz spectroscopy.
