Abstract
The carrier concentration injected from a silicon substrate to a copper phthalocyanine thin film was found to depend on the incidence polarization of the photoexciting beam. The modulation efficiency of terahertz transmission due to transverse-magnetic (TM)-polarized excitation is distinctly higher than that due to transverse-electric (TE)-polarized excitation. Underlying this difference is the enhancement of carrier injection when the TM-polarized light is more transmitted through the surface of organic thin films than the TE-polarization light.
