Abstract
InGaN quantum wells (QWs) grown on c-plane sapphire substrate experience strain due to the lattice mismatch. The strain generates a strong piezoelectric field in QWs that contributes to THz emission under ultrafast excitation. Physical parameters such as QW width, period number, and Indium concentration can affect the strength of the piezoelectric field and result in THz emission. Experimental parameters such as pump fluence, laser energy, excitation power, pump polarization angle, and incident angle can be tuned to further optimize the THz emission. This review summarizes the effects of physical and experimental parameters of THz emission on InGaN QWs. Comparison and relationship between photoluminescence properties and THz emission in QWs are given, which further explains the origin of THz emission in InGaN QWs.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Optics publishes papers on the nature of light, its properties and behaviours, and its interaction with matter. The journal considers both fundamental and highly applied studies, especially those that promise technological solutions for the next generation of systems and devices. As well as original research, International Journal of Optics also publishes focused review articles that examine the state of the art, identify emerging trends, and suggest future directions for developing fields.
