Abstract
The nonlinear response of GaAs/AlAs superlattices to THz radiation has been analyzed over a wide frequency range (0.1 THz-15 THz), including the range of polar-optic phonon frequencies. Assuming that free electrons in a superlattice subjected to both a static and a THz field perform frequency-modulated damped Bloch oscillations, we have calculated a superlattice current responsivity, i.e., the ...
