We report on measurements of radiation transmission in the 0.220-0.325 THz and 0.75-1.1 THz
frequency ranges through GaN quantum wells grown on sapphire substrates at nitrogen and room
temperatures. Significant enhancement of the transmitted beam intensity with applied voltage is
found at nitrogen temperature. This effect is explained by changes in the mobility of two-dimensional
electrons under electric bias. We have clarified which physical mechanism modifies the electron mobility
and we suggest that the effect of voltage-controlled sub-terahertz transmission can be used for
the development of electro-optic modulators operating in the sub-THz frequency range.
