Fluence and polarisation dependence of GaAs based Lateral Photo-Dember terahertz emitters
We characterise THz output of lateral photo-Dember (LPD) emitters based on semi-insulating (SI), unannealed and annealed low temperature grown (LTG) GaAs. Saturation of THz pulse power with optical fluence is observed, with unannealed LTG GaAs showing highest saturation fluence at 1.1 ± 0.1 mJ cm-2. SI-GaAs LPD emitters show a flip in signal polarity with optical fluence that is attributed to THz emission from the metal-semiconductor contact. Variation in optical polarisation affects THz pulse power that is attributed to a local optical excitation near the metal contact
ChatGPT: ascertaining the self-evident. The use of AI in generating human knowledge
The fundamental principles, potential applications, and ethical concerns of
ChatGPT are analyzed and discussed in this study. Since ChatGPT emerged, it has
gained a rapidly growing popularity, with more than 600 million users today.
The development of ChatGPT was a significant mile-stone, as it demonstrated the
potential of large-scale language models to generate natural language responses
that are almost indistinguishable from those of a human. ChatGPT's operational
principles, prospective applications, and ability to advance a range of human
endeavours are discussed in the paper. However, much of the work discusses and
poses moral and other problems that rely on the subject. To document the
latter, we submitted 14 queries and captured the ChatGPT responses. ChatGPT
appeared to be honest, self-knowledgeable, and careful with its answers. The
authors come to the realization that since AI is already a part of society, the
pervasiveness of the ChatGPT tool to the general public has once again brought
to light concerns regarding AI in general. Still, they have moved from the
domain of scientific community collective reflection at a conceptual level to
everyday practice this time.Comment: 20 pages, 2 figure
