  • Abstract
    THz-emission by InGaAs photodiodes with 1560 nm pulse excitation was investigated. From the comparison with the photoconductive antenna on low-temperature-grown GaAs excited at 780 nm, it was found that the photodiodes emit sufficiently strong THz waves with a spectral range reaching 3 THz.
