Abstract

A 2D simulation for the lateral photo-Dember effect is used to calculate the THz emission of metallic nanostructures due to ultrafast diffusion of carriers in order to realize a series of THz emitters.Comment: Corrected version of a paper given at 2011 36th International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter and Terahertz Waves (IRMMW-THz
