The broadband radiation of a LiF dye-center laser is used as a pump source of a nonlinear optical oscillator. The energy efficiency of terahertz optical frequency conversion in a periodically polarized lithium niobate crystal is 4 × 10−9 at a pump power density of 7 MW/cm2. %K optical rectification %K lithium niobate crystal %R 10.1134/S0021364012140123 %U http://link.springer.com/10.1134/S0021364012140123 %U https://doi.org/10.1134/S0021364012140123 %P 94-97
