Abstract

The reflection and transmission spectra of ZnGeP2 single crystals irradiated with 4-MeV electrons have been measured in the frequency range of 5-5000 cm−1 at temperatures in the range of 10-300 K. Based on the measured spectra, the spectra of complex permittivity ɛ*(ν) and absorption coefficient α(ν) have been simulated using the dispersion analysis method. It has been found that the electron irradiation decreasing the losses in the pumping range by a factor of 2–3 does not lead to additional losses in the region of generating terahertz radiation.
