Paper Abstract
This paper summarizes our recent progress on the discovery and THz performance of ErAs:GaAs photoconductive devices driven around 1550 nm. We will present the impulse response of such device in a time-domain spectrometer where the detection is realized with a GaAs electro-optic crystal. The full width at half-maximum of the temporal pulse is 500 fs and the corresponding bandwidth is greater than 2.5 THz. We also present different 1550-nm properties of this material including carrier lifetime by pump-probe phototransmission. All evidence to date suggests that the 1550-nm ultrafast behavior in ErAs:GaAs occurs by extrinsic photoconductivity, not two-photon effect.
