We demonstrate, for the first time, a telecommunication-compatible terahertz frequency-domain spectroscopy system without requiring any short-carrier-lifetime photoconductors. The ultrafast response of the terahertz source and detector is achieved by incorporating plasmonic antenna electrodes and a thin layer of epitaxially-grown In0.53Ga0.47As to confine optical generation very close to the antenna electrodes. As a result, a short carrier transit time for most of the photocarriers is provided, inducing an ultrafast photocurrent for terahertz generation and detection. This design approach enables larger flexibility for the choice of photoconductors and operation wavelengths without being limited by the availability of short-carrier-lifetime photoconductors.
