Abstract

The emission spectrum of a two-color semiconductor laser is analyzed. We find four-wave mixing sidebands for difference frequencies up to 4 THz. The appearance of four-wave mixing signals is a clear sign for a modulation of the carrier plasma at the corresponding difference frequency. We prove experimentally that this difference frequency is also directly emitted out of the laser diode and suggest a new simple concept for the generation of tunable coherent THz-radiation.
