[more ▼] The authors report on fabrication and measurement of traveling-wave photomixers based on high energy and low dose nitrogen-ion-implanted GaAs. They used 3 MeV energy to implant N+ ions into GaAs substrates with an ion concentration dose of 3 1012 cm−2. The N+-implanted GaAs photomixers exhibit improvements in the output power in comparison with their counterparts, photomixers fabricated on low-temperature-grown GaAs. The maximal output power was 2.64 W at 850 GHz. No saturation of the output power with increased bias voltage and optical input power was observed. These characteristics make N+-implanted GaAs the material of choice for efficient high power sources of terahertz radiation.

[more ▼] We have fabricated and characterized ultrafast metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) photodetectors with recessed electrodes, based on low-temperature-grown GaAs. The new recessed-electrode MSM geometry led to an improved electric-field distribution inside the photodetector structure and resulted in a 25% breakdown voltage and sensitivity increase with simultaneous four-fold reduction of capacitance, as compared to the identical MSM devices with planar electrodes. Time-resolved studies performed using 100-fs-duration laser pulses showed that recessed-electrode MSMs exhibited 1.0-ps-wide photoresponse transients with no slow after-pulse tails and their photoresponse time was 0.9 ps. The improved transient photoresponse parameters are the main advantages of the recessed-electrode geometry.

[more ▼] We have fabricated and characterized novel traveling-wave photomixers with recessed interdigitated metal-semiconductor-metal MSM contacts based on low-temperature-grown GaAs. The new recessed MSM geometry led to an improved electric-field distribution inside the photomixer structure and resulted in an up-to-100% increase in the output power of continuously operated devices, compared to conventional MSM devices with standard surface electrodes fabricated on an identical material. The recessed electrode structure also resulted in lower saturation of output power at higher input powers, enabling it to take advantage of higher input powers.
