We have investigated terahertz radiation emitted from electrons photoexcited by femtosecond laser pulses in bulk GaAs under strong bias electric fields. Power dissipation spectra of electrons for step-function-like input electric fields have been obtained by calculating Fourier spectra of the measured terahertz traces. The cutoff frequency νc for negative power dissipation (i.e., gain) due to intervalley transfer is found to gradually increase with increasing electric fields below 50 kV/cm and saturate at ∼1 THz above 50 kV/cm at 300 K. From the temperature dependence of νc, it is found that νc is governed by the emission of optical phonons.
