Abstract

This paper presents the experimental studies of the generation of terahertz radiation in periodic arrays of GaAs/AlGaAs core/shell nanowires via excitation by ultrashort optical pulses. It is demonstrated that terahertz emission occurs via excitation of photocurrent in the nanowires. The dynamics of photoinduced charge carriers is studied via the influence of an electron-hole plasma on terahertz radiation.

Funding

Thus, it was shown that the time dynamics of photoexcited charge carriers in semiconductor NWs is determined both by the rapid motion of electrons in a local electric field (charge of a depleted layer capacitance) and their rapid capture to surface centers, by diffusion of holes (charge-exchange of capacitance) and their slow capture to surface centers and nonradiative centers in NWs.
