In this paper, the four-wave mixing in silicon waveguides is investigated for achieving suitable frequency range in the terahertz region. For this purpose, a silicon waveguide with appropriate dispersion properties is selected and by changing the input pump wavelength from the normal to the anomalous dispersion regimes around the vicinity of zero-dispersion wavelength, the generated terahertz radiation is tuned in a wide range. The results show that, via the change of the pump wavelength by 1.5 µm, a frequency shift from 38 to 309 THz can be obtained.
