  • Abstract
    We discuss photon-phonon interaction in AlN and GaN thin layer structures by spectroscopic analysis in 20 - 30 THz region. Optical absorption by the generation of electric dipole moment based on interface polarization charges is found besides interface phonon polariton propagation. The polariton and absorption properties are analyzed.
