Carbon Nanotube-Based Photoconductive Switches for THz Detection: An Assessment of Capabilities and Limitations

Carbon nanotubes possess appealing properties for terahertz (THz) applications. This work investigates the contribution of these properties in the context of THz photoconductive (PC) switches as THz detectors. The analysis engages the received THz electric field, the optical excitation, and the phot...
