Abstract
Intrinsic GaAs optical constant values are well known as functions of frequency (10 000–65 000 cm−1 or 1.24–8.06 eV) and temperature (22–754 K). Room-temperature far-infrared optical constant data also exist as a function of frequency, and are representable by a classical oscillator model. In this article, the frequency-domain, temperature-dependent intrinsic dielectric function of GaAs has been Fourier transformed to obtain an analytical, closed-form representation of the time-domain susceptibility. Results from these expressions are consistent with the temporal characteristics of electronic transitions impeded by elastic scattering, which are in the femtosecond regime. The closed form nature of these expressions makes them well suited for finite difference time domain simulations of waveguides, optoelectronic devices, and microwave devices.
