THz modulators and detectors based on semiconductor nanowires

Semiconductors nanowires have to potential to be building blocks for future nano-optoelectronic devices. We have recently demonstrated high performance THz photonic devices based on GaAs and InP nanowires. These include ultrafast optically switched modulators of THz radiation and single nanowire pho...

Description
Summary:Semiconductors nanowires have to potential to be building blocks for future nano-optoelectronic devices. We have recently demonstrated high performance THz photonic devices based on GaAs and InP nanowires. These include ultrafast optically switched modulators of THz radiation and single nanowire photoconductive detectors of THz pulses.
