Abstract
The electron capture time in superlattice structures consisting of periodically spaced layers of self-assembled ErAs nanoislands and In0.53Ga0.47As is investigated on photoconductive switches as a function of the superlattice period using photocurrent autocorrelation and pulsed laser excitation at 1.55μm. The capture time can be tuned from picoseconds all the way down to 0.2ps by changing the periodicity. Two different Be doping schemes are explored to reduce the dark current. The resulting characteristics indicate that ErAs:InGaAs may serve as a high performance photoconductive material at this wavelength for pulsed terahertz emission and detection.
