Linear and nonlinear characteristics of time-resolved photoluminescence modulation by terahertz pulse

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/26/10/100201

Abstract The linear and nonlinear characteristics of time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) of n-type bulk semiconductor GaAs modulated with terahertz (THz) pulse are studied by using an ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC) method. In this paper the center energy valley (Γ valley) electron concentration changes with the pulse delay time, sampling time and the outfield are mainly discussed. The results show that the sampling time and the THz field should exceed certain thresholds to effectively excite photoluminescence quenching (PLQ). Adopting a direct current (DC) field makes the sampling time threshold shortened and the linear range of THz field-modulation PL expanded. Moreover, controlling the sampling time and the outfield intensity can improve the linear quality:with forward time, the larger outfield is used; with backward time, the smaller outfield is used. This study can provide a theoretical basis of THz field linear modulation in a larger range for new light emitting devices.
