Electrical terahertz modulator based on photo-excited ferroelectric superlattice
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transmission and dielectric spectra of ferroelectric STO/PT superlattice on Si substrate under simultaneous external optical and electric field were investigated and compared at room temperature. Results found that when with an optical field, the electric field realized an effective modulation on the transmission, which displayed a diode property. In addition, a comprehensive model combined with Debye relaxation and Lorentz model was used to analyze the dielectric spectra, variation of the soft mode with external field was put emphasis on exploring.

Ultra-Compact Bidirectional Terahertz Switch Based on Resonance in Graphene Ring and Plate
In this paper, we present a switch based on coupling and resonance in thegraphene plate and rings operating at 10 THz. This structure consists of several layers ofHexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN), SiO2 and P+Si, such that graphene plates and rings areinside the hBN layer. The terahertz wave is incident from the upper part of the switchand Surface Plasmons (SPs) are excited ...
متن کاملHfO2-based ferroelectric modulator of terahertz waves with graphene metamaterial∗
Tunable modulations of terahertz waves in a graphene/ferroelectric-layer/silicon hybrid structure are demonstrated at low bias voltages. The modulation is due to the creation/elimination of an extra barrier in Si layer in response to the polarization in the ferroelectric Si:HfO2 layer. Considering the good compatibility of HfO2 with the Si-based semiconductor process, the highly tunable charact...
متن کاملPopulation-inversion and gain estimates for a semiconductor TASER
We have investigated a solid–state design advanced (Soref et al. SPIE Proceedings, vol. 3795, 516 (1999)) to achieve Terahertz-Amplification-by-the-Stimulated-Emission-of-Radiation (TASER). The original design was based on lightto heavy-hole intersubband transitions in SiGe/Si heterostructures. This work adapts the design to electron intersubband transitions in the more readily available GaAs/G...
متن کاملPhoto-generated metamaterials induce modulation of CW terahertz quantum cascade lasers
Periodic patterns of photo-excited carriers on a semiconductor surface profoundly modifies its effective permittivity, creating a stationary all-optical quasi-metallic metamaterial. Intriguingly, one can tailor its artificial birefringence to modulate with unprecedented degrees of freedom both the amplitude and phase of a quantum cascade laser (QCL) subject to optical feedback from such an anis...
متن کاملPhoto-generated THz antennas
Electromagnetic resonances in conducting structures give rise to the enhancement of local fields and extinction efficiencies. Conducting structures are conventionally fabricated with a fixed geometry that determines their resonant response. Here, we challenge this conventional approach by demonstrating the photo-generation of THz linear antennas on a flat semiconductor layer by the structured o...
