Abstract
A method of generating light is disclosed. The method comprises: directing an optical pulse to a semiconductor optical amplifier being at a temperature above 0° C. The optical pulse is preferably characterized by a wavelength within an emission spectrum of the semiconductor optical amplifier and by a pulse area selected to induce Rabi oscillations in the semiconductor optical amplifier, and to emit light at a frequency of at least 1 THz.
