Ultrabroadband terahertz field detection by proton-bombarded InP photoconductive antennas.

چکیده
Photoconductive (PC) antennas fabricated on InP bombarded with 180 keV protons of different dosages (InP:H+) all exhibit a useful bandwidth of about 30 THz, comparable to that of the LT-GaAs PC antenna. The peak signal current of the best InP: H+ device (dosage of 10;15 ions/cm;2) is slightly higher than that of the LT-GaAs one, while the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the former is about half of that of the latter due to lower resistivity. This suggests that InP: H+ can be a good substrate for THz PC antennas with proper annealing and/or implantation recipe.

High Sensitivity Terahertz Detection through Large-Area Plasmonic Nano-Antenna Arrays
Plasmonic photoconductive antennas have great promise for increasing responsivity and detection sensitivity of conventional photoconductive detectors in time-domain terahertz imaging and spectroscopy systems. However, operation bandwidth of previously demonstrated plasmonic photoconductive antennas has been limited by bandwidth constraints of their antennas and photoconductor parasitics. Here, ...

متن کاملDiffraction-limited ultrabroadband terahertz spectroscopy
Diffraction is the ultimate limit at which details of objects can be resolved in conventional optical spectroscopy and imaging systems. In the THz spectral range, spectroscopy systems increasingly rely on ultra-broadband radiation (extending over more 5 octaves) making a great challenge to reach resolution limited by diffraction. Here, we propose an original easy-to-implement wavefront manipula...
متن کاملDetection of up to 20 THz with a low-temperature-grown GaAs photoconductive antenna gated with 15 fs light pulses
The generation and detection of terahertz ~THz! radiation using ultrashort optical pulses has been intensively studied during the last decade. The pulse width of commercially available mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers is approaching 10 fs. With such ultrashort pulses, a wider detection bandwidth is expected to be possible. Coherent detection of THz radiation based on a photoconductive ~PC! antenn...

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 ...
