We report the first THz emission at 280 GHz excited by a Continuous-Wave Dual-Frequency Vertical-External-Cavity Semiconductor Laser emitting at 1064 nm and using a long- carrier-lifetime plasmonic-based photomixer. These encouraging results pave the way toward coherent, tunable, compact, powerful, and low-cost terahertz sources working at room temperature.
