Two photoconductive emitters - one with a self-complementary square spiral antenna, and the other with a resonant slot antenna - were fabricated on a GaAs epilayer embedded with ErAs quantum dots. Driven with 1550 nm mode-locked lasers, ~117 μW broadband THz power was generated from the device with the spiral antenna, and ~1.2 μW from the device with resonant slot antenna. The optical-to-THz conversion is through extrinsic photoconductivity.
在嵌入了ErAs量子点的砷化镓外延层上制备了两个光电导发射器,一个带有自互补方形螺旋天线,另一个带有谐振缝隙天线。用1550纳米锁模激光器驱动时,带有螺旋天线的器件产生了约117微瓦的宽带太赫兹功率,而带有谐振缝隙天线的器件产生了约1.2微瓦的功率。光到太赫兹的转换是通过非本征光电导实现的。
