چکیده
We present an experimental study of the terahertz emission from InxGa1−xAs epitaxial layers that were grown while varying alloy fraction x. observe is significantly different depending on variation direction fraction. attribute difference to significant change band bending induced in growth and position-dependent effective mass.

Terahertz emission from (100) InAs surfaces at high excitation fluences
The radiated terahertz field from (100) InAs surfaces under excitation at fluences of millijoules per centimeter squared has been studied in detail in order to identify the main generation mechanism. We find that the terahertz emission depends strongly on pump polarization, and that the predominant emission mechanism appears to be the surface nonlinear optical response of the InAs crystal. A sa...
متن کاملTerahertz emission from Ga1−xInxSb
We report an experimental study on terahertz THz emission from Ga1−xInxSb with 0 x 1. THz emission is excited by femtosecond near-infrared laser pulses. For this material system THz emission is maximized for an In mole fraction x 0.5. The maximum in THz emission occurs as a result of carrier compensation NA NB for this specific material composition. The THz emission from n-type InSb is twice as...
متن کاملEmission of terahertz radiation from SiC
We report the emission of strong coherent broadband terahertz radiation from 6H-silicon-carbide SiC excited with optical pulses. The measured terahertz spectral signal-to-noise ratio is better than one thousand. We determine that the terahertz radiation is generated via second order optical nonlinearity optical rectification . We present a measurement of the ratio of nonlinear susceptibility te...
متن کاملTerahertz emission from surface-immobilized gold nanospheres.
Electromagnetic wave emission based on optical rectification at terahertz (THz) wavelengths was observed from surface-immobilized gold nanospheres (SIGNs) above a gold surface. Although the excitation wavelength is off-resonant with the localized surface plasmons, the THz emission field was observed to be approximately 4.8 times greater than that from a percolated gold thin film of 10 nm thickn...

The terahertz (THz) radiation emitted from a double quantum well is investigated and optimized. Exploiting the phenomenon of quantum stochastic resonance (whereby the oscillation amplitude of a dissipative two-level system exhibits at low temperatures a non-monotonic response with respect to the parameters of a monochromatic external field or the strength of dissipation) to drive a series of id...
