A polarization-insensitive plasmonic photoconductive terahertz emitter
We present a polarization-insensitive plasmonic photoconductive terahertz emitter that uses a two-dimensional array of nanoscale cross-shaped apertures as the plasmonic contact electrodes. The geometry of the cross-shaped apertures is set to maximize optical pump absorption in close proximity to the contact electrodes. The two-dimensional symmetry of the cross-shaped apertures offers a polariza...
متن کاملradiation enhancement in plasmonic bias-free and antenna-less cw terahertz photomixer emitters array
we propose a new generation of unbiased (bias-free) antenna-less cw thz photomixer emitters array made of asymmetric msm gratings with subwavelength pitch, operating in optical near-field regime. we take advantage of the size effects in near-field optics and electrostatics to demonstrate the possibility of enhancing the thz power by four orders of magnitude, as compared with a similar array of ...
متن کاملComputational modeling of plasmonic thin-film terahertz photoconductive antennas
This work presents a computational approach for investigating terahertz photoconductive antennas with enhanced performance via thin-film plasmonic electrode configurations. The commercially available finite element method solver COMSOL Multiphysics is implemented to solve Maxwell’s wave equations along with the coupled drift-diffusion/Poisson’s equations. The proposed approach is compared with ...
متن کاملSignificant performance enhancement in photoconductive terahertz optoelectronics by incorporating plasmonic contact electrodes.
Even though the terahertz spectrum is well suited for chemical identification, material characterization, biological sensing and medical imaging, practical development of these applications has been hindered by attributes of existing terahertz optoelectronics. Here we demonstrate that the use of plasmonic contact electrodes can significantly mitigate the low-quantum efficiency performance of ph...
متن کاملScattering efficiency and near field enhancement of active semiconductor plasmonic antennas at terahertz frequencies.
Terahertz plasmonic resonances in semiconductor (indium antimonide, InSb) dimer antennas are investigated theoretically. The antennas are formed by two rods separated by a small gap. We demonstrate that, with an appropriate choice of the shape and dimension of the semiconductor antennas, it is possible to obtain large electromagnetic field enhancement inside the gap. Unlike metallic antennas, t...
