Optical rectification at semiconductor surfaces
Physical Review Letters, 1992 We show that far-infrared radiation can be generated in the depletion field near semiconductor surfaces via the inverse Franz-Keldysh effect or electric-field-induced optical rectification. This mechanism is conceptually different from those previously proposed and accounts for many recent experimental ...

Electrostatics of optical rectification in metallic particles [PDF]
Journal of the Optical Society of America B, 2022 An electrostatic theory of optical rectification is presented here, namely, the static photovoltage or photocurrent generation under light illumination, in metallic particles. The hydrodynamical model for the charge carriers in the metals is employed.

Generation of ultrashort electrical pulses in semiconductor waveguides [PDF]
, 2003 We report a novel device capable of generating ultrashort electrical pulses on a coplanar waveguide (CPW) by means of optical rectification. The device consists of a completely passive GaAs-based optical waveguide, which is velocity matched to a CPW line.

Observation of magneto-electric rectification at non-relativistic intensities
Nature Communications, 2020 The role of the optical magnetic field is generally not considered at nonrelativistic light intensities. Here the authors show magneto-electric rectification, an optical nonlinear effect due to electric and magnetic field coupling, in a thin film of the ...
