Femtosecond differential transmission measurements on low temperature GaAs metal–semiconductor–metal structures

Abstract: We report on differential transmission measurements on low temperature grown (LT)-GaAs with and without applied electrical fields at different wavelengths. Electrical fields up to 100 kV/cm can be applied via an interdigitated contact structure to our LT GaAs samples which have been removed from the substrate by epitaxial lift off. In the presence of an electric field, both, the absorption bleaching due to phase space filling and field induced absorption changes due to the Franz–Keldysh effect contribute to th… Show more

“…For first characterization, differential transmission measurements are performed on a LT GaAs layer separated from the substrate by epitaxial lift-off. 10 These measurements show that the carrier life time increases to about 800 fs for T a ϭ600°C and is below our temporal resolution limit of about 200 fs for T a ϭ525°C. Other important measures of the substrate are the conductivity and the breakdown field.…”

“…A carrier lifetime of 400 fs has been determined by differential transmission and a photoconductive switch response time of 800 fs by electro-optic sampling measurements. 7 Two observations deviate from the simple picture considering a photocurrent driven by the applied field: the signal does not vanish for V b ϭ0 V and for V b Ͼ0 V the initial positive peak is followed by a small negative component.…”
