Electron-photon interaction in resonant tunneling diodes
– We develop a model to describe the transmission coefficient and tunneling current in the presence of electron-photon coupling in a resonant diode. Our model takes into account multiphoton processes as well as the transitions between electronic states with different wave numbers. This is crucial to explain the experimental features observed in the tunneling current through a double barrier whi...
متن کاملOptofluidic refractometer using resonant optical tunneling effect.
This paper presents the design and analysis of a liquid refractive index sensor that utilizes a unique physical mechanism of resonant optical tunneling effect (ROTE). The sensor consists of two hemicylindrical prisms, two air gaps, and a microfluidic channel. All parts can be microfabricated using an optical resin NOA81. Theoretical study shows that this ROTE sensor has extremely sharp transmis...
متن کاملResonant tunneling diode oscillators for optical communications
The ability to use resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) as both transmitters and receivers is an emerging topic, especially with regards to wireless communications. Successful data transmission has been achieved using electronic RTDs with carrier frequencies exceeding 0.3 THz. Specific optical-based RTDs, which act as photodetectors, have been developed by adjusting the device structure to include ...
متن کاملResonant photon tunneling via surface plasmon polaritons through one-dimensional metal-dielectric metamaterials.
We report resonant photon tunneling (RPT) through one-dimensional metamaterials consisting of alternating layers of metal and dielectric. RPT via a surface plasmon polariton state permits evanescent light waves with large wavenumbers to be conveyed through the metamaterial. This is the mechanism for sub-wavelength imaging recently demonstrated with a super-lens. Furthermore, we find that the RP...
متن کاملResonant photon tunneling enhancement of the van der Waals friction.
We study the van der Waals friction between two flat metal surfaces in relative motion. For good conductors, we find that normal relative motion gives a much larger friction than for parallel relative motion. The friction may increase by many orders of magnitude when the surfaces are covered by adsorbates, or can support low-frequency surface plasmons. In this case, the friction is determined b...
