Background

As 5G goes into commerce, 6G development also goes into human vision. The realization of high-speed interconnection and intercommunication is an urgent need in the current communication industry by a brand-new and ultrahigh-speed wireless communication intervention means. Terahertz is one of means for realizing the requirement, and with the deepening of the terahertz technology research, the terahertz system has a very urgent need for a terahertz wave radiation source, and the terahertz wave generation technology applicable at room temperature becomes a bottleneck of the development of the terahertz technology. At present, devices such as terahertz wave emission sources (such as quantum cascade lasers) based on an optical method need to generate terahertz wave radiation under the condition of low-temperature refrigeration, and the frequency is generally above 1 THz; an emission source (such as a traveling wave tube, a return wave tube and the like) based on an electronics method needs to radiate terahertz waves under the condition of auxiliary equipment such as a high-power supply and the like.

At present, an existing terahertz source device is not reasonable in design, is difficult to work at room temperature, is greatly restricted by the environment when in use, and is not ideal in convenience.
