    Abstract

    We have improved the stability and performance of terahertz photoconductive (Auston) switches using a combination of (NH4)2S surface passivation and silicon nitride (Si3N4) encapsulation. The passivation and encapsulation processes increased the average terahertz power generated four-fold.
