Frequency down-conversion (difference frequency generation) of a multiline Q-switched CO laser with a ZnGeP2 crystal was numerically studied. Two options of the CO laser spectrum were considered: “narrow” (44 lines) and “broad” (150 lines) ones. An influence of the ZnGeP2 crystal absorption on THz generation was taken into account and was shown to be significant. It affected optimal phase-matching...
