Article Synopsis
- This paper investigates how photoexcitation in a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) device affects its output power in THz photoconductive switching and photomixing.
- It presents a comprehensive method for calculating THz output power, taking into account various parameters that impact device performance and establishing design-dependent limits.
- Numerical analysis indicates that, provided the device remains thermally stable, the SWNT photoconductive switch can achieve output power improvements nearly 100 times greater than traditional materials like LT-GaAs.
