Abstract
We demonstrate a high dynamic range, broadband THz-TDS system that is compatible with 1 μm femtosecond lasers. In order to improve the dynamic range and bandwidth, we designed and fabricated photoconductive terahertz sources and detectors equipped with arrays of plasmonic nano-antennas fabricated on an epitaxially-grown In0.24Ga0.76As substrate. Plasmonic nano-antennas concentrate the photo-generated carriers close to the antenna-photoconductor interface. This ensures a superior performance both in terahertz generation and detection by increasing the induced ultrafast current at the antenna terminals. We demonstrate a THz-TDS system with more than a 100 dB dynamic range and a 4 THz bandwidth.
