Résumé en anglais

We present a detailed study of the effect of the carrier lifetime on the terahertz signal characteristics emitted by Br+-irradiated In0.53Ga0.47As photoconductive antennas excited by 1550 nm wavelength femtosecond optical pulses. The temporal waveforms and the average radiated powers for various carrier lifetimes are experimentally analyzed and compared to predictions of analytical models of charge transport. Improvements in bandwidth and in average power of the emitted terahertz radiation are observed with the decrease of the carrier lifetime on the emitter. The power radiated by ion-irradiated In0.53Ga0.47As photoconductive antennas excited by 1550 nm wavelength optical pulses is measured to be 0.8 μW. This value is comparable with or greater than that emitted by similar low temperature grown GaAs photoconductive antennas excited by 780 nm wavelength optical pulses.< Réduire
