Photoconductive germanium antenna emitting broadband THz pulses

Pashkin, O.; Singh, A.; Winnerl, S.; Helm, M.; Schneider, H.

The spectral range between 5 and 10 THz is hardly accessible for time-resolved THz spectroscopy due to strong phonon absorption in many polar materials utilized for the generation of THz transients. We demonstrate that non-polar germanium is a promising semiconductor for a realization of a photoconductive THz emitter with a continuous spectrum spanning well above 10 THz.
