Abstract
We investigate photoconductive terahertz (THz) emitters compatible with 1550 nm excitation for THz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS). The emitters are based on rhodium (Rh) doped InGaAs grown by molecular beam epitaxy. InGaAs:Rh exhibits a unique combination of ultrashort trapping time, high electron mobility, and high resistivity. THz emitters made of InGaAs:Rh feature an emitted THz power of 637 μW at 28 mW optical power and 60 kV/cm electrical bias field. In particular for a fiber coupled photoconductive emitter, this is an outstanding result. When these emitters are combined with InGaAs:Rh based receivers in a THz TDS system, 6.5 THz bandwidth and a record peak dynamic range of 111 dB can be achieved for a measurement time of 120 s.
