  • Abstract
    A large aperture terahertz (THz) emitter is presented. The planar photoconducting GaAs device consists of a periodical interdigitated Schottky structure. Additional trenches in the GaAs have double periodicity. They are required for far-field THz emission. Terahertz field strengths of 15 V/cm were achieved.
