Multiple double-metal bias-free terahertz emitters

Multiple double-metal bias-free terahertz emitters
We demonstrate multiplexed terahertz emitters that exhibits 2THz bandwidth that do not require an external bias. The emitters operate under uniform illumination eliminating the need for a micro-lens array and are fabricated with periodic Au and Pb structures on GaAs. Terahertz emission originates from the lateral photo-Dember effect and from the different Schottky barrier heights of the chosen metal pair. We characterize the emitters and determine that most terahertz emission at 300K is due to band-bending due to the Schottky barrier of the metal.

Abstract

We demonstrate multiplexed terahertz emitters that exhibits 2THz bandwidth that do not require an external bias. The emitters operate under uniform illumination eliminating the need for a micro-lens array and are fabricated with periodic Au and Pb structures on GaAs. Terahertz emission originates from the lateral photo-Dember effect and from the different Schottky barrier heights of the chosen metal pair. We characterize the emitters and determine that most terahertz emission at 300K is due to band-bending due to the Schottky barrier of the metal.
