摘要
We report on the time-domain terahertz (THz) magneto-optical Kerr spectroscopy in the frequency range from 0.5 to 2.5 THz. The developed technique employs reflection geometry, enabling high-frequency noncontact Hall measurements in opaque samples. We also present a method to reveal the off-diagonal component of the complex dielectric tensor from the measured polarization-dependent THz wave forms. At a static magnetic field of 0.48 T, a large Kerr rotation over 10degrees originating from magnetoplasma resonance is observed in an n-type undoped InAs wafer at room temperature. This indicates the strong potential of this material for the polarization modulator in the THz regime. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
