摘要：

A new, efficient, intracavity scheme for terahertz generation in fermtosecond mode-locked Ti:sapphire lasers is proposed and demonstrated. The terahertz radiation is generated by a transient photocurrent in a GaAs layer grown on a fast semiconductor saturable absorber mirror. The average terahertz output radiation power is voltage controlled and can be electrically modulated at frequencies up to 100 kHz. (C) 2002 Optical Society of America.
