Abstract
We report the study of optically induced terahertz (THz) electromagnetic radiation from 〈110〉 oriented zinc‐blende crystals. This work extends our previous studies of 〈100〉 and 〈111〉 GaAs. Excellent agreement between calculated results and experimental data indicates that, under conditions of moderate optical fluence and normal incidence on the unbiased sample, second‐order optical rectification is the major nonlinear process that generates THz radiation.Keywords
