Observation of nonequilibrium carrier distribution in Ge, Si, and GaAs by terahertz pump–terahertz probe measurements

Observation of nonequilibrium carrier distribution in Ge, Si, and GaAs by terahertz pump–terahertz probe measurements

We compare the observed strong saturation of the free carrier absorption in n-type semiconductors at 300 K in the terahertz frequency range when single-cycle pulses with intensities up to 150 MW/cm2 are used. In the case of germanium, a small increase of the absorption occurs at intermediate THz pulse energies. …
