High-power narrow-band terahertz (THz) radiations emitted from a biased large-aperture photoconductive antenna triggered by multiple-pulse trains is studied. The effects of the finite lifetime and transient mobility dynamics of photogenerated carriers in the analysis are included. THz waveforms are calculated from the saturation theory of large-aperture photoconductive antennas, and comparisons are made between single-pulse and multiple-pulse satruation proterties of THz emission from SI-GaAs and LT- GaAs emitters. The results show that the saturation at high fluence density with the interpulse spacing longer than the carrier lifetime can be avoided by mulitiple-pulse trains excitation large-aperture photoconductive emitters.
