Description

Photoconductive antenna array and method for improving radiation power of photoconductive antenna array
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of terahertz, and relates to a photoconductive antenna array and a method for improving the radiation power of the photoconductive antenna array.
Background
Terahertz (THz) waves refer to electromagnetic waves having a frequency of 0.1 to 10THz (wavelength range of 30 μm to 3mm), and the spectrum range of the electromagnetic waves is between that of infrared light and microwaves. Compared with other electromagnetic wave bands, the terahertz wave has unique spectral characteristics, such as low single photon energy, no ionization effect, good penetrability on non-polar substances, higher spectral resolution, higher fingerprint spectral characteristics and the like. Therefore, terahertz waves are widely applied to the fields of astrophysics, communication, materials science, chemistry, biomedicine, national defense safety and the like.
The terahertz photoconductive antenna is the most common means for generating pulse broadband terahertz radiation, is small in size, compact in mechanism and high in stability, is integrated with a fiber laser, and is widely applied to commercial terahertz sources and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy systems. The photoconductive antenna utilizes femtosecond laser pulses to excite and generate carriers on a semiconductor material between electrodes, the carriers move in an accelerating mode under the action of an external bias electric field and a built-in electric field to form transient photocurrent, and the changed current generates a terahertz electric field and radiates outwards in a pulse mode.
One of the main factors limiting the output power of the terahertz photoconductive antenna is its low conversion efficiency. One method of increasing the radiation power and conversion efficiency of photoconductive antennas is to use multiple antenna elements to form an antenna array. In the traditional photoconductive antenna array, a beam of Gaussian light spot covers the whole array antenna area, however, the array element gap area capable of effectively receiving the light intensity of the pump laser only occupies a small part of the total receiving surface of the antenna, so that the effective utilization rate of exciting light is low. Secondly, when all antenna array elements are connected to the same power supply electrode, because the distribution of pump laser convergence light spots is uneven, and because the array elements in different areas are subjected to different irradiation light intensities, the generated photon-generated carriers and the amplitude, the phase, the frequency and the like of corresponding terahertz radiation can be different, and further, the radiation among the array elements cannot be effectively synthesized and optimized.
One solution to the problem of low radiation efficiency of photoconductive antenna arrays is to use a self-focusing lens[1]Most of the light intensity of the pump laser is converged in the gaps of each array element, and the method can effectively improve the light energy utilization rate and the radiation power of the antenna. However, since the microlens structure is relatively fixed, the radiation characteristic of the antenna cannot be effectively adjusted in real time. And the number of the self-focusing lenses is increased along with the increase of the number of the array elements, so that the manufacturing process is increasedThe difficulty of (2).

In addition, the position of each converging light spot is accurately adjusted by using the feedback module, so that the converging light spots are accurately superposed with the electrode gap of the antenna array element, and the output efficiency of the antenna is further optimized. The specific implementation and principle is shown in fig. 1.
The femtosecond laser 1 outputs laser as pumping laser through a coupling fiber 2, the light beam is transmitted in parallel after passing through a collimation and beam expansion lens 3, and the phase modulation is carried out on the pumping laser light beam through a spatial light modulator 4 according to a required modulation phase image. The modulated pump laser beam is focused on a plane where each array element on the photoconductive antenna array 6 is located by the converging lens 5 to form a converged light spot image, and the plane is located in a fourier plane, namely a focal plane, of the lens 5. The light field distribution of the converged light spot image can be accurately controlled by the spatial light modulator through changing the wave front phase of the pump laser beam, the converged light spot image of the pump laser is a separated light spot lattice, namely, the light beam is converged at a plurality of focuses, each light spot is accurately positioned at the position of each array element gap, the pump laser light spot is excited to generate a photon-generated carrier, and a changed current is generated under the action of the electrode, so that outward radiation terahertz waves are generated. The phase image 11 loaded on the spatial light modulator 4 is changed, and the wavefront phase of the incident femtosecond pump laser is changed by an amount corresponding one-to-one to the phase image. The converged pump laser forms a desired pattern 9, i.e. a converged spot, at the focal plane, which corresponds to the spatial distribution 10 of the individual elements of the antenna: the number of light spots is equal to that of the array elements, the size of each light spot is matched with the size of the electrode gap of each antenna array element and is accurately positioned at the position of each electrode gap, and the light intensity of the light spots in different areas is kept the same through algorithm optimization or is adjusted according to the output characteristic requirements of actual antennas. 10 is a distribution schematic diagram of each array element of the array antenna, as shown in the figure, the array elements are distributed in a honeycomb mode, and a single array element adopts an H-shaped electrode. And 15 is a structural schematic diagram of a single array element, and comprises an electrode pad 16 and an electrode gap area 17.
The photo-generated carriers generated at the photoconductive antenna array 6 generate a varying current under the action of the electrodes, thereby generating outward radiation terahertz waves. The radiation power and the radiation direction of the generated terahertz waves are detected by the detection module 13. Specifically, the terahertz radiation is converged by the terahertz lens 7 and detected by the terahertz detector 8.
In an embodiment of the present invention, a feedback optimization module 14 is further included, said feedback optimization module 14 comprising a CMOS/CCD detector and a control unit. The terahertz detector 8 feeds the radiation characteristic information of the terahertz waves back to the control unit, and the control unit adjusts the modulation phase image on the spatial light modulator 4 to control the light field distribution of the pump laser at the photoconductive antenna array, so as to regulate and optimize the output of the antenna; or a CMOS/CCD detector is placed on a focal plane of the terahertz converging lens 5, a pump laser beam after phase modulation is directly observed to form a discrete converging light spot image at the focal plane, and the phase image to be modulated is optimally adjusted and loaded on the spatial light modulator 4 by comparing with the required light field image and utilizing an algorithm.

The spatial light modulation device 4 may be a transmissive or reflective liquid crystal modulator, and has a response to wavelength in the spectral range region of the pump laser light. The converging lens 5 can be a single lens or a lens combination, and can also be a microscope objective with a large numerical aperture. Each array element in the photoconductive antenna array 6 can be powered by the same power supply, and because the system can effectively regulate and control the light intensity distribution of the light field, the influence of different conductivities of different positions of an antenna substrate caused by uneven light energy distribution in different areas when the same power supply is powered in the traditional photoconductive antenna array can be effectively reduced. The photoconductive antenna array 6 can be distributed in a honeycomb structure or a matrix structure, and the number of the array elements in the array and the shape structure parameters of each array element electrode can be selected according to actual requirements. The position of the electrode gap of each array element determines the expected position of the converged light spot, so that the modulation phase image required by the spatial modulator 4 is calculated by inversion.

The actual process can be realized by adjusting the judgment condition, namely FkAllowable range of difference from expected imageAnd the number of iterations is reduced or the loop is prevented from being incapable of converging, but the excessive difference allowable range influences the image imaging precision at the focal plane.
The above embodiments are only for illustrating the invention and not for limiting the invention, and those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, so that all equivalent technical solutions also belong to the scope of the invention, and the scope of the invention should be defined by the claims.
