Laser for the generation of THz power

Contact: Marco Spirito

Photoconductive antennas are antennas printed on a semiconductor substrate that can generate THz radiation, providing large bandwidth in the THz regime and enabling a broad variety of applications for THz technology.

We use the optical laser (250mW @ 780nm and 500mW @ 1560nm) to optically excited LT-GaAs and emit  THz radiation. Our devices are currently emitting ~1mW of power between 100 and 600 GHz.
