Power scaling of large-aperture photoconducting antennas

We describe the power scaling and saturation properties of large‐aperture planar photoconducting antennas which emit and detect ultrashort terahertz electromagnetic pulses. At high optical fluences, the radiated electric field saturates at a value comparable to the bias field in agreement with a simple model of the radiation mechanism.
