  • Abstract
    A terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system based on a femtosecond Yb:KGW laser, a narrow-gap semiconductor surface emitter, and a photoconductive detector made from an Si-doped GaBiAs epitaxial layer is demonstrated. The spectral bandwidth of the system is larger than 4 THz, and its dynamical range exceeds 60 dB.
