Different design techniques have been applied to low-temperature grown (LT-) GaAs photomixers and the respective antennas to increase the efficiency and output power of these devices. High DC-photocurrents have been achieved with interdigitated structures and transmission lines have been used to improve matching between antenna and photomixer. The input impedances of antenna structures on GaAs substrate have been investigated and optimised for matching and technological feasibility.

We have studied the generation of coherent pulses of terahertz (THz) radiation from semiconductor surfaces both experimentally and using a Monte-Carlo carrier dynamics simulation. Collimated THz beams are observed from surface-field THz emitters and three methods of improving the efficiency of these emitters are demonstrated: (i) by applying a magnetic field, (ii) by reducing the effective refractive index of the device and (iii) by altering the geometry of the device. An enhancement of 21/spl times/ is seen in a prism based GaAs/InAs THz emitter.

An achromatically injection-seeded terahertz-wave parametric generator (ais-TPG) was constructed using MgO:LiNbO/sub 3/ crystals and a tunable seeder using a stationary dispersion-compensated optical arrangement. Without readjusting the mirrors, smooth tuning of the terahertz-wave over the 0.6/spl sim/2.6 THz range was obtained by adjusting the seeder wavelength alone. The feasibility of this system for terahertz-wave absorption measurements over a wide frequency range was successfully demonstrated using low-pressure water vapor.
