Previous research on terahertz optical rectification from zincblende semiconductors indicated that there was an enhancement of the resonant second-order nonlinear susceptibility near the bandgap in these materials. Because the bandgap of a semiconductor changes with temperature, it is important to study the resonant behavior of the second-order nonlinear susceptibility as a function of temperature near the bandgap. The authors report their recent studies of the temperature dependence of terahertz optical rectification from <111> oriented zincblende crystals (GaAs and InP) near their bandgap. The results showed that an enhancement of the resonant second-order nonlinear susceptibility occurred when the incident photon energy was slightly higher than the bandgap of the zincblende crystal at different temperatures.
