摘要
Gallium bismide arsenide epitaxial layers were grown by molecular-beam-epitaxy at low substrate temperatures and investigated for their suitability in terahertz optoelectronic applications. Optical pump-terahertz probe measurements on these layers have shown that carrier dynamics can be described using two characteristic times. The faster decay component has characteristic times shorter than 1 ps, whereas the slower component decays in several tens of picoseconds. Fitting the electron lifetimes dependence on optical excitation level the electron trapping cross-section and trap density were determined. The possible mechanism of carrier recombination was discussed. The photoconductive terahertz emitters and detectors made from GaBiAs layers have been manufactured and used in time-domain spectroscopy system with a signal bandwidth larger than 4.5 THz.
