Description

Polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to an antenna tool, in particular to a polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Compared with other frequency bands, the hertz frequency band has slow development of related technologies due to lack of efficient and practical terahertz sources, and the research on terahertz wave bands is promoted by the appearance of an ultrafast optical technology for generating terahertz waves.
The existing terahertz sources mainly comprise two types: the terahertz wave detector has the advantages of being simple and compact, easy to couple with an optical fiber and the like, and is widely applied to terahertz wave emission and detection.
In a typical THz-TDS system, to detect the terahertz spectrum of certain substances (having optical anisotropy in the terahertz band), a pair of terahertz photoconductive dipole emitter/detector antennas and three rotatable wire grid polarizers are used. It allows only the sampling of terahertz waves with the polarization component corrected.
However, the main disadvantages of this arrangement are the deterioration of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the transmitting/detecting electrodes according to Malu's law at certain polarizer angles, the addition of a rotatable wire grid polarizer also resulting in a complicated optical path of the whole system, and the low absorption of femtosecond laser light by the photoconductive antenna substrate.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the technical problems that the signal-to-noise ratio of the terahertz spectrum of the anisotropic substance obtained from the traditional THz-TDS system is low, and the optical path of the whole THz-TDS system is complicated; in order to solve the technical problem, the invention provides the polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna and the preparation method thereof, and the research on the polarization-variable terahertz photoconductive antenna can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the terahertz spectrum of the optical anisotropic substance and lay a foundation for a high-integration THz-TDS system.
The invention is realized by the following technical scheme:
this scheme provides an adjustable terahertz of polarization photoconduction antenna, is applied to terahertz spectroscopy system now, includes: the semiconductor substrate layer, the dielectric layer and the pattern layer;
the pattern layer is tightly attached to the surface of the dielectric layer, and the dielectric layer is positioned on the surface of the semiconductor substrate layer;
the pattern layer comprises an electrode structure which comprises 4 antenna electrodes which are arranged in a central symmetry mode.
The dielectric layer is used as a transition layer between the antenna electrode and the substrate material, so that the electrode is better attached to the substrate.
The further optimization scheme is that the 4 antenna electrodes are triangular electrodes, 4 isosceles right-angle triangular electrodes are obtained by uniformly opening two sides of a square electrode along a diagonal line and are arranged in a centrosymmetric mode, and the right angles of the triangular electrodes point to the symmetric center.
Because the antenna electrode structure of the polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna is small, the electrode needs to be processed,
the further optimization scheme is that the antenna further comprises an extension electrode, and the middle point of the longest side of each antenna electrode is connected with one extension electrode through one extension line.
The further optimization scheme is that the device also comprises a nanometer disc array; the nanometer disc array is a square array formed by a plurality of nanometer discs, the nanometer disc array is arranged at the symmetrical center of the 4 antenna electrodes, and four vertex angles of the nanometer disc array are positioned on the diagonal lines of the square electrodes.
The further optimization scheme is that the epitaxial electrode is a cylindrical electrode with the radius r, and the epitaxial wire is connected to the side face of the epitaxial electrode.
The further optimization scheme is that the width of the extension line is 10-20 mu m, and the length of the extension line is 6.3-6.6 mu m.
The further optimization scheme is that the longest side length of the two triangular electrodes is l, and the distance le between the two triangular electrodes opposite to each other at a right angle is 20-40 mu m; the gap between two adjacent triangular electrodes is
Figure BDA0003095412620000021
The further optimization scheme is that the material of the semiconductor substrate is LT-GaAs, LT-GaAs or InP;
the dielectric layer is made of titanium;
the material of the pattern layer is gold.
The further optimization scheme is that the thickness of the semiconductor substrate layer is 200-350 mu m;
the thickness of the dielectric layer is 20-30 nm;
the thickness of the pattern layer is 200-300 nm.
The polarization adjustable photoconductive antenna provided by the scheme can better detect the terahertz spectrum with optical anisotropic substances in the terahertz waveband, and the polarization direction of the photoconductive antenna is mainly controlled by four antenna electrodes. When the femtosecond laser irradiates the surface of the substrate, electron-hole pairs (photogenerated carriers) can be generated on the substrate medium, the carriers can accelerate under the action of bias voltage to generate photogenerated current when bias voltage is applied to the epitaxial electrode, the changed current radiates out electromagnetic waves, and the generated electromagnetic waves fall in a terahertz frequency band because the incident laser is in a femtosecond magnitude.
The polarization direction of terahertz radiated by the photoconductive antenna is related to the electrodes and the bias voltage. The structure of the electrodes determines the possible application method of the bias voltage, which in turn determines the movement and distribution of the carriers in the photoconductive antenna substrate, while the radiation polarization of the terahertz waves is mainly dependent on the direction of movement of the carriers. The structure can realize polarization adjustability in 8 directions by combining the symmetrical structure of the electrodes and the application method of the bias voltage.
The nano disc array has the functions of improving the absorption of the substrate layer to laser, providing a composite point for an electron-hole pair, reducing the service life of a current carrier and improving the terahertz radiation bandwidth.
When a beam of femtosecond laser with photon energy higher than the band width of the semiconductor forbidden band irradiates the surface of the dielectric layer in the gap between the antenna electrodes, the dielectric of the substrate layer can generate optical transition, thereby generating electron-hole pairs.
The relationship between the forbidden band width and the corresponding wavelength is as follows:
Figure BDA0003095412620000022
h is the Planck constant, ν is the frequency of the laser, c is the speed of light, and λ is the laser wavelength. The laser wavelength required for the substrate material used can be calculated from equation (1). The density of photogenerated carriers is determined by the photon energy absorbed by the substrate layer, the electron density (n)e) Hole density (n)h) The number of excited electrons (N)/laser is focused on the volume of the substrate. In which the number of excited electrons (N) and the laser lightPower-dependent:
Figure BDA0003095412620000031
wherein P isLIs the power of a single pulse, DtIs the pulse duration, alpha is the absorption of the laser by the substrate, EgIs the photon energy of the laser.
And applying a bias voltage to the corresponding epitaxial electrode, wherein the generated carriers can move with the acceleration of the bias voltage, the higher the bias voltage is, the faster the acceleration is, the greater the speed change of the electron-hole pairs in unit time is, and the larger the magnitude of the photocurrent is. Magnitude i of photocurrentcp(t) is obtained by integrating the speed of the carriers, the density of the photogenerated carriers and the light pulse intensity parameters:
ipc(t)=∫iopt(t-t’)[e·n(t’)·V(t’)]dt’ (3)
wherein ioptFor the optical pulse intensity parameter, n (t ') is the photogenerated carrier density as a function of time, and V (t') is the average electron drift rate. Terahertz radiation electric ETHz(t) is proportional to the differential of the photocurrent:
Figure BDA0003095412620000032
it can be seen from the equations (2), (3) and (4) that the radiation electric field increases with the increase of the bias voltage and the optical power. However, the polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna also has the problems that when the bias voltage is too large, the electrodes are easy to break down and the space charge field shielding effect is caused, so that the applied bias voltage is not suitable to be too large. The shielding effect of space charge is that under the action of an external direct current bias electric field, photogenerated carriers of a substrate form a built-in electric field in the medium, wherein the built-in electric field is opposite to the direction of the external electric field. Due to the shielding effect of space charge, can

The reduction is obvious, and the formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003095412620000034
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0003095412620000035
is the polarizability of space charge generation, and α is a geometric constant.
The terahertz spectrum with adjustable polarization of the optical anisotropic material in the terahertz waveband can be better measured. The photoconductive antenna structure with adjustable polarization not only reduces the use of a polarizer in a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system, but also improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the terahertz spectrum of a measured substance.
Four contact electrodes are etched on an LT-GaAs substrate of the photoconductive antenna, and the anisotropic linear polarization adjustable terahertz radiation multiplied by 45 degrees is finally realized. The radiation characteristics are the same at 45 °, 135 °, 225 ° and 315 °, the bandwidth energy is not less than 1THz, and the radiation intensity can be higher than 0.4V. The radiation characteristics in the horizontal and vertical polarization directions are the same. The electrode length of the horizontal and vertical polarization directions is shorter than that of the four radiation directions of 45 degrees, 135 degrees, 225 degrees and 315 degrees, and the electrode gap is wider than that of the four radiation directions of 45 degrees, 135 degrees, 225 degrees and 315 degrees, so that the terahertz radiation intensity generated by the antenna in the horizontal and vertical polarization directions is reduced.
The scheme also provides a method for preparing the polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna, which is used for preparing the polarization-adjustable terahertz photoconductive antenna and comprises the following steps: (please supplement detailed procedures)
