  • Abstract
    We have successfully observed THz radiation due to ultrafast modulation of drain-source current induced by ultrafast optical gate-field modulation in high-electron mobility transistors. This phenomenon was applied to the characterization of cutoff frequencies of ultrahigh-speed transistors. The measured cutoff frequency was in reasonable agreement with that determined by a network analyzer.
