The dispersion and intensity of coupled plasma excitation in an electron-hole bilayer with Rashba spin-orbit coupling is calculated. We propose to use the spin-orbit coupling in individual layers to tune the intensity of two plasmons. The mechanism can be used to develop a two color terahertz source with tunable intensities. © 2006 American Institute of Physics.
