Abstract
Terahertz lies at the juncture between RF and optical electromagnetism, serving as a transition from mm-Wave to infrared photonics. Terahertz technology has been used for industrial quality control, security imaging, and high-speed communications, and often generated through optoelectronic solutions by using photoconductive antennas. In this paper, Multiphysics simulations on semi insulating GaAs, grapheneenhanced photoconductive antennas are conducted to effectively decouple optical responses of semiconductor carrier generation/drift from Terahertz radiation computation, which provides a comprehensive and integrated platform for future terahertz photoconductive antenna designs
