Utilizing fourwavemixing effect in optical fibers and the dualwavelength laser as the pump source, a compact, widetunable countinuous wave CW) terahertz source is constructed. The fourwave mixing process has been discussed in detail through t he coupledwave theory, and the analytical expression of terahertz output power is obtained. It is shown that when the pump power is 1 kW, the terahertz peak power is about 60 mW. This scheme provides a possibility to realize a highpower and compact CW terahertz source.
