Abstract

We present a telecommunication-compatible terahertz source based on passive transponder nanoantennas. When excited with an optical pump beam, photogenerated carriers in a photo-absorbing substrate are swept to an array of terahertz radiating nanoantennas by a built-in electric field formed between the nanoantennas and substrate. The photoconductive substrate is specifically grown to maximize the strength and overlap of the built-in electric field with the photogenerated carriers to provide high optical-to-terahertz conversion efficiencies. We have used this terahertz generation scheme to develop a fiber-coupled passive transponder that provides more than a 110 dB dynamic range over a 5 THz bandwidth.
