This proposed project is to produce an integrated device consisting of an input grating coupler and a an optical waveguide, nonlinear crystal, and THz waveguide. This device will be a highly efficient converter of laser optical energy into THz energy. The THz source will be highly efficient, coherent, and high-power.
