Abstract
The polarity and mechanism of terahertz radiation from native n-type InN excited by femtosecond optical pulses are investigated. The optical properties, electron concentrations, and crystalline quality are characterized by photoluminescence and Raman scattering spectra. The electron concentrations are estimated to be between 0:35 × 1019 and 3:87 × 10 19 cm-3. The polarity of terahertz radiation field from the samples with higher electron concentrations is opposite to that from p-InAs, indicating that the dominant radiation mechanism is the drift current. However, the samples with lower electron concentrations show the same polarity as p-InAs. Under this condition, the radiation mechanism is dominated by the photo-Dember effect.
