Abstract
We identified eight nonlinear crystals enabling THz emission from quadratic phase-matched Difference-Frequency-Generation: YCOB, BNA, LBO, CSP, AGS, CdSe, ZnO and GaP. For all these crystals, we performed Time-Domain Spectroscopy in the same conditions to determine their absorption spectra in polarized light as well as their principal refractive indices as a function of wavelength in the 0.5-2.0 THz range. By combining previous data with the Sellmeier equations valid in their visible and infrared transparency ranges, we calculated the coherence length of Difference-Frequency-Generation associated to all possible configurations of polarization and found interesting and complementary phase-matching conditions in the eight studied crystals.
