摘要
The results of high-field terahertz transmission experiments on n-doped silicon (carrier concentration of 8.7x10(16)cm(-3)) are presented. We use terahertz pulses with electric field strengths up to 3.1 MVcm(-1) and a pulse duration of 700 fs. A huge transmittance enhancement of similar to 90 times is observed with increasing of the terahertz electric field strengths within the range of 1.5-3.1 MVcm(-1). (C) 2017 Optical Society of America
