Second-Harmonic Generation of Subterahertz Gyrotron Radiation by Frequency Doubling in InP:Fe and Its Application for Magnetospectroscopy of Semiconductor Structures

Abstract

The possibility of obtaining intense terahertz radiation due to second-order lattice nonlinearity in indium-phosphide crystals doped with iron is discussed. As a source of radiation, subterahertz gyrotrons are considered. It is shown that the efficiency of frequency doubling can reach 3%, which opens up the possibility for developing a new generation of terahertz radiation sources. The possibility of applying second-harmonic radiation for the magnetospectroscopy of semiconductor structures with quasi-Dirac dispersion is demonstrated.
