ABSTRACT:
A method of THz photon generation comprising: providing a magnon gain medium; wherein the magnon gain medium supports generation of nonequilibrium magnons; and injecting nonequilibrium electrons into the magnon gain medium. Propagation of nonequilibrium electrons in the magnon gain medium causes generation of nonequilibrium magnons. Interaction between nonequilibrium magnons causes generation of THz photons.
