Abstract
Microwave second‐harmonic generation is observed in germanium when a microwave power density gradient exists within the sample. This second‐harmonic thermoelectric voltage is proportional to the incident microwave power for low power levels and is found to begin to saturate as the power level approaches 1 mW. This voltage could be utilized to directly measure the energy relaxation time of free charge carriers.Keywords
