Abstract: A linearly polarized upconverting optical signal at optical frequency νOPT and a propagating input signal at frequency νGHz are combined by an input beam combiner to copropagate through a nonlinear optical medium and generate upconverted optical signals at one or both sum or difference frequencies νSUM=νOPT+νGHz or νDIFF=νOPT−νGHz. The orthogonally polarized upconverting and upconverted optical signals are separated by a polarizer, and the upconverted optical signal is preferentially transmitted to a detection system by an optical filter. The input signal is modulated to encode transmitted information, and that modulation is imparted onto the upconverted optical signal. The detection system includes one or more photodetectors, receives the upconverted optical signal, and generates therefrom electrical signals that are modulated to encode the transmitted information.

Abstract: A cw terahertz image beam is upconverted by a nonlinear optical process (e.g., sum- or difference-frequency generation with a near IR cw upconverting beam). The upconverted image is acquired by a near IR image detector. The bandwidths and center wavelengths of the terahertz image beam and the upconverting beam are such that wavelength filtering can be employed to permit an upconverted image beam to reach the detector while blocking or substantially attenuating the upconverting beam.

Abstract: An optical parameter oscillator (OPO) is pumped at pump wavelength λP to resonate at signal wavelength λS. The OPO produces idler radiation at terahertz frequencies νTHz=c/λP−c/λS. The pump, signal, and idler radiation are substantially collinear.

Abstract: A ring optical resonator and one or more input optical waveguides are arranged on a substrate, and are arranged and positioned to establish evanescent optical coupling between them. The ring optical resonator, the substrate, or both include one or more nonlinear optical materials. To detect an electromagnetic signal at frequency νEM incident on the resonator, an input optical signal at frequency νIN propagates along the waveguide and around the resonator. The incident electromagnetic signal and the input optical signal generate one or more sideband optical signals at corresponding optical sideband frequencies νSF=νIN+νEM or νDF=νIN−νEM. To generate an electromagnetic signal to propagate away from the resonator, input optical signals at frequencies νIN1 and νIN2 propagate along one or more waveguides and around the resonator and generate the electromagnetic signal incident at frequency νEM=|νIN1−νIN2|.
