Abstract

Amorphous germanium (a-Ge) photoconductive switches coupled with YBCO transmission lines are fabricated on MgO (100) substrates. The optical responses of the photoconductive switches at lower temperatures are examined using the terahertz beam generation technique. The results have revealed that the a-Ge photoconductive switch can stably work at low temperatures and operation frequencies around 100 GHz. We also discuss the effects of YBCO transmission lines and the deterioration of the interface between a-Ge and YBCO.
