Improved superconducting hot-electron bolometer devices for the THz range
Improved and reproducible heterodyne mixing (noise temperatures of 950 K at 2.5 THz) has been realized with NbN based hot-electron superconducting devices with low contact resistances. A distributed temperature numerical model of the NbN bridge, based on a local electron and a phonon temperature, has been used to understand the physical conditions during the mixing process. We find that the mix...

متن کاملTHz RADIATION GENERATION IN MULTIMODE WAKEFIELD STRUCTURES*
A number of methods for producing sub-picosecond electron bunches have been demonstrated in recent years. A train of these bunches is capable of generating THz radiation via multiple mechanisms like transition, Cherenkov and undulator radiation. We propose to use a bunch train like this to selectively excite a high order mode in a dielectric wakefield structure. This allows us to use wakefield ...
متن کاملModulating sub-THz radiation with current in superconducting metamaterial.
We show that subterahertz transmission of the superconducting metamaterial, an interlinked two-dimensional network of subwavelength resonators connected by a continuous superconducting wire loop, can be dynamically modulated by passing electrical current through it. We have identified the main mechanisms of modulation that correspond to the suppression of the superconductivity in the network by...
متن کاملElectronic temperatures and electron-lattice relaxation in THz QCLs
The electronic distribution in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) arises from the detailed balance between the injection and the energy relaxation rates, i.e. interand intra-subband electron-electron, electron–LO phonon, electron-impurity, and interface roughness scattering. In mid-infrared QCLs the electron-electron and the electron-phonon interactions lead to a non-equilibrium thermalized distribu...
