摘要
Intense terahertz radiation was generated from femtosecond laser-irradiated InAs and GaAs layers on Si substrates. Results show that InAs/Si and GaAs/Si films can be excited in reflection and transmission geometries. The InAs/Si film exhibited weaker emission for both excitation cases but it will be more feasible as a spectroscopic THz source due to the absence of complex spectral features in its emission spectrum. The GaAs/Si emission is characterized by Fabry–Perot oscillations but it is 90% of that of p-InAs bulk crystal emission intensity in the reflection geometry. Excitation fluence measurements showed that the InAs/Si film saturates easily due to the laser’s shallow penetration depth in InAs.
