Brown\, Departments of Physics and Electrical Engineering at 糖心原创\n\n Perhap s the biggest breakthrough in the THz field during the past 20 years has b een the advent of ultrafast semiconductor materials having ultrafast (< 1 ps) electron-hole recombination time and therefore the ability to generate useful levels of THz radiation by laser-excited switching and photomixing . The leading material for this advancement has been low-temperature-grow n (LT) GaAs\, and the laser technology has been Ti:sapphire mode-locked la sers (for switching) or GaAs-based single-frequency diode lasers (for phot omixing)\, both emitting between 750 and 800 nm. The photonductive mecha nism is generally ultrafast intrinsic photoconductivity. This seminar wil l summarize recent work by our group to develop GaAs-based THz sources dri ven at 1550-nm where laser sources are much more affordable and easy to in tegrate into systems large because of devices and components from the 1550 -nm fiber-optic telecommunications industry. The mechanism for THz genera tion in GaAs at 1550-nm is attributed to ultrafast extrinsic photoconducti vity. The understanding of this mechanism requires several topics in soli d-state physics\, including electron transport in metallic-dopant impurity bands\, strong sub-band gap radiative absorption by such impurities\, str ong electron capture cross sections to produce ultrafast lifetime\, and of course THz qualification by fabrication and characterization of real devi ces embedded in planar antennas.
