Abstract
The generation of terahertz (THz) radiation using a ZnGeP2 (ZGP) large-aperture photoconductive antenna (PCA) was demonstrated. The semiconductors were excited above and below the bandgap (400 and 800 nm) by a femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser. The THz pulse waveform generated by the ZGP antenna was measured using a time-domain spectroscopy technique. The antenna’s THz pulse energy dependence on the optical pump energy was measured, and saturation fluence and carrier mobility were estimated. The ZGP and a chemical vapor deposited ZnSe-based PCA were compared.
