Abstract

The azimuthal angle dependence of the terahertz (THz) radiation power of (100) p-type InAs under 1-T magnetic field is presented. Results show that although the dominant radiation mechanism is surge current, azimuthal angle-dependent radiation due to the nonlinear effect is also observed. The two-fold symmetry of the THz radiation for p-polarized excitation was modified to four-fold symmetry with the applied field. Even with no applied field, results exhibited four-fold symmetry for the s-polarized THz radiation. As the magnetic field-induced nonlinear optical susceptibility fails to account for this observation, a tentative explanation regarding a field-enhanced L-valley carrier scattering is proposed. The actual physical origin of these results is currently under investigation.
