Abstract
We present a terahertz intensity modulator optically controlled at 1550 nm and integrated within a standard hollow-core rectangular waveguide operating in the 0.75–1.1 THz frequency range (WR1.0 standard). The relevant figures of merit for the component are presented; including insertion losses below 5 dB, average modulation depth of 70%, and a modulation bandwidth of 15 MHz. An analytical model relating the photogenerated carrier lifetime to the modulator bandwidth is presented.
