Abstract :
Summary form only given. A few mechanisms have been identified for the terahertz generation from bulk and quantum-well semiconductors using an intense femtosecond optical pulse. These mechanisms include: carrier transport, bulk optical rectification, and field induced optical rectification effects. In this talk, the above mechanisms will be discussed with emphasis on the charge oscillations in quantum well structures
