Abstract
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.Keywords
