Plasma sources & sensors of near terahertz radiation

Cameron, Stewart M.; Zutavern, Fred J.; Luk, Ting S.; McPherson, Leroy A.

Terahertz radiation from optically-induced plasmas on metal, semiconductor, and dielectric surfaces is compared to electron-hole plasma radiation from GaAs and Ge. Electro-optic sampling and electric-field probes measure radiated field waveforms and distributions to 0.350 THz.
