Application of the beacon structure for the excitation of non-coherent THz radiation in GaAs/AlGaAs in parabolic quantum pits

Operation co-funded by EU cohesion policy (European Social Fund (ESF)) under the programme EU Structural Funds Investments - LT - ERDF/ESF/CF/YEI (2014LT16MAOP001), managing authority: Finansų ministerija. The source names no beneficiary for this operation. Location: Vilnius County (NUTS LT011); Lithuania. Budget: total eligible expenditure EUR 2,655.26; EU co-financing EUR 2,655.26 (co-financing rate 100%), as stated by the source. Runs 2021-09-01 to 2022-03-31.

Summary from Kohesio (English machine translation by the source): The fast-evolving THz spectroscopy and imaging technology has a high demand for powerful, compact and low-cost THz-emitting sources. The current development of a THz source on the basis of parabolic quantum pits requires precise experimental methods of measuring radiation. This researcher, who can independently prepare and measure samples, has knowledge of modelling, manufacturing, research and skills of semiconductor devices to perform accurate measurements of parabolic quantum pit emissions for THz sources, allowing comparison of issuers of different designs. All stages of in-depth research are planned in the project: the characteristics of wave-conductive structures are calculated, technological work is carried out in the preparation of samples, experimental studies are carried out to measure THz radiation from parabolic quantum pits. After completing the research practice, the student will have the necessary specific knowledge and technical skills, will be able to work independently and carry out research from idea to report in the form of project work.
