Modulation of terahertz polarization on picosecond timescales using polymer-encapsulated semiconductor nanowires

We exploit the photoconductivity of semiconductor nanowires to achieve ultrafast broad-bandwidth modulation of THz pulses. A modulation depth of -8 dB was exhibited by a polarizer consisting of 14 layers of nanowires encapsulated in polymer.
