摘要: A theory for terahertz generation from bulk and quantum-well semiconductors is discussed based on a second-order nonlinear optical mechanism. For semiconductor, due to rectification presented. coupled structure, three-level model showing contributions both quantum beat discussed. The interband intersubband dipole moments play important roles in the generation.
