Abstract
Simulation results of frequency conversion up to the terahertz region in semiconductor laser devices, both in bulk and quantum-well structur es, are presented with a comparison of traveling wave amplifiers and F abry-Perot oscillators. In both devices conversion gains greater than 0 dB can be achieved with a proper parameter choice. Interesting featu res of the conversion gain spectra for the oscillator-converter are po inted out with a discussion of the performances.
