Detection of up to 20 THz with a low-temperature-grown GaAs photoconductive antenna gated with 15 fs light pulses

We report on the ultrabroadband coherent detection of radiation in wavelengths spanning from far to midinfrared with a low-temperature-grown GaAs photoconductive dipole antenna gated with 15 fs light pulses. The detected spectral frequency exceeds 20 THz.
