Terahertz coherent acoustic experiments with semiconductor superlattices

Résumé

We demonstrate the generation, propagation, and detection of coherent acoustic waves at 1 THz. We performed picosecond ultrasonics experiments in an acoustic transmission geometry, which allows a total decoupling of the phonon generation and detection processes, occurring in two different superlattices grown on opposite sides of a substrate, respectively. We show that a 1 ns burst of monochromatic terahertz coherent acoustic waves could be generated on one side of a substrate, propagated over a large distance and detected on the opposite side. We also measured the lattice dispersion owing to the time delay between the terahertz burst and much lower frequency acoustic waves. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3658458]
