Optical modulation by submillimeter-wave signals and applications thereof

TLDR
In this paper, a continuous-wave cyanide (HCN) laser has been employed to drive a continuous, traveling-wave lithium niobate (LiNbO3) electrooptic modulator at signal frequencies of 964 gHz.
Abstract
A continuous-wave cyanide (HCN) laser has been employed to drive a continuous, traveling-wave lithium niobate (LiNbO3) electrooptic modulator at signal frequencies of 964 gHz. (311 Mu m.) and at 891 gHz. (337 Mu m.). Part of the power of a visible 0.633- Mu m. carrier beam is converted into two visible sidebands, one of which is favored by the choice of phasematching angle. In a submillimeter communication system and in power metering of submillimeter radiation, angular separation of the beams makes attractive the up-conversion to the visible region, followed by detection. The large frequency separation of the visible carrier and the sidebands facilitates precision spectroscopic and metrological applications.

Method and apparatus for producing a non-linear interaction between two electromagnetic waves

TL;DR: In this paper, a non-linear interaction between two electromagnetic waves, e.g., a laser beam and a microwave beam, in a nonlinear optical medium, where one wave passes through a predetermined region of the medium in a zig-zag path, and the other traverses the region in two opposed directions in such a manner that an interaction-production phase-matching of the two waves is obtained not only in the departing but also in the approaching segments of the zigzag path.
