Picosecond photoconducting Hertzian dipoles

Auston, D. H., Cheung, K. P., Smith, P. R.·1984·Applied Physics Letters

Abstract

The generation transmission, and detection of extremely rapid electromagnetic pulses have been achieved using fast photoconducting materials as time-varying Hertzian dipoles. This approach, which has a measured time response of 1.6 ps, overcomes many of the limitations imposed by transmission line structures, and due to its jitter-free behavior and open geometry is ideally suited for transient electromagnetic measurements of materials.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
