A multilayer structure based on low-temperature LT-GaAs with crystallographic orientation (111) A is proposed for the fabrication of terahertz (THz) photoconductive antennas. The structures contain active layers of undoped LT-GaAs and high-temperature GaAs:Si layers doped with Si acceptors. At an optical pump power of 19 mW and a bias voltage of 30 V, a photoconductive antenna on an optimized {LT-GaAs / GaAs: Si} (111) A structure emitted THz pulses with an average power of 2.3 μW at a pulse repetition rate of 80 MHz, the conversion efficiency was 1.2 ∙ 10-4. It is shown that the dependence of the integrated power of THz antenna pulses based on {LT-GaAs / GaAs: Si} (111) A structures on the applied voltage is superlinear, and on the optical pump power it has the form of a saturation curve. The possibility of practical application of the obtained antennas for the tasks of terahertz spectroscopy of biological solutions is shown.
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.
