We present threefold enhancement of terahertz emission from silicon nanowire (SiNW)-coated gallium-arsenide photoconductive antenna over its uncoated counterpart. The enhancement is attributed to the increased photoabsorption, and possibly additional photoconductive pathways induced by the SiNWs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
