We have developed injection-seeded terahertz (THz)-wave parametric generators (is-TPGs), which have potential properties to THz applications because of high output, widely tunability and room temperature operation with compactness. Recently, the remarkable results are a 100 kHz repetition-rate is-TPG which marks a thousandfold enhancement, and a rapidly frequency-switching is-TPG using a multi-furcated Nd:YAG microchip laser with 11-GHz frequency separation. In addition, we demonstrated a security application with a is-TPG, which is a real-time screening system as passengers gate based on THz-wave spectroscopic detection.
