| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A quasi-optical terahertz-wave emitter module implementing a uni-traveling-carrier photodiode and a quasi-optical terahertz-wave detector module implementing a Schottky barrier diode were developed. Newly developed self-complementary reflection-symmetry planar bowtie antennas together with new device integration configurations for the antenna electrode enabled to realize linearly polarized signal emission and detection with stable principal polarization axis angle, polarization factors close to unity, and small degree of extinction in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wave regions at very small or zero bias condition. Both modules also exhibited good linearity in input-output characteristics in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wave regions which is important for low distortion measurements. Using the fabricated modules, terahertz-wave ellipsometry was successfully demonstrated by measuring complex relative dielectric constants of purified water without using external polarizers.
