Abstract
Large area terahertz emitters based on the lateral photo-Dember effect in InN (indium nitride) are presented. The formation of lateral photo-Dember currents is induced by laser-illumination through a microstructured metal cover processed onto the InN substrate, causing an asymmetry in the lateral photogenerated charge carrier distribution. Our design uses simple metal structures, which are produced by conventional two-dimensional micro-structuring techniques. Having favoring properties as a photo-Dember material InN is particularly well-suited as a substrate for our emitters. We demonstrate that the emission intensity of the emitters can be significantly influenced by the structure of the metal cover leaving room for improvement by optimizing the masking structures.

Simulation of terahertz generation at semiconductor surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, a three-dimensional semiclassical Monte Carlo model is presented to describe fast carrier dynamics in semiconductors after photoexcitation, and the authors show that a magnetic field enhances THz emission by rotating the emitting dipole with respect to the sample surface, leading to an increased coupling of radiation through the surface.

Terahertz emission from lateral photo-Dember currents

TL;DR: In this paper, the photo-Dember effect is used to generate strong carrier gradients parallel to the surface of a simple semiconductor surface, which can be scaled up so that multiple phase coherent photo-dember currents contribute to the THz emission.
