| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In-plane photoconductivity of InAs quantum dots layers with ultrafast carrier relaxation (~ps order) has been characterized in order to argue the application of the InAs QDs to THz detection photoconductive antenna (PCA). Compared to the dark current, the obvious photocurrent has been observed. We have fabricated the PCA structure using the InAs QDs, and measured the photocurrent under excitation by 1.5-micron fs pulse laser which is used for an actual PCA operation. The Peak power density dependence of the photocurrent has been characterized by the pulse and CW excitations. As a result, the linear increasing of photocurrent has been shown clearly in the range of 6 orders of magunitude. These results indicate that the InAs QDs is the promising material for the application to PCA.
