Excitation light input side
■Outlines
G10620 series are terahertz(THz) electromagnetic waves emission/detection modules, in which a low-temperature-grown GaAs(LT-GaAs) based photoconductive switch(sometimes called as photoconductive antenna) and a
lens for THz electromagnetic wave are integrated. Small size(30 mm × 30 mm × 13 mm except the protuberance)
helps easy installation in a system. This module also has a SMA connector, which facilitates easy connection to
other equipments. M6 and M2 tapping holes are prepared on three faces to help easy setup.
There are three prepared electrode patterns of photoconductive switches; Dipole:G10620-11 and Bow-tie:G10620-12,
and Spiral:G10620-13.

■Typical measurement results of frequency spectrum
* These are typical measurement results. Under improper experimental conditions, the similar results cannot be obtained.
* To acquire these data, a pair of pallaboloidal mirrors are used between emission and detection modules.
●G10620-11 emitter 5 mW, receiver 5 mW
●G10620-12 emitter 5 mW, receiver 5 mW
