چکیده

We report on the successful terahertz emission (0.6-1 THz) that is continuous and tunable in its frequency and power, by driving Josephson vortices in resonance with the collective standing Josephson plasma modes excited in stacked Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x intrinsic Josephson junctions. Shapiro-step detection was employed to confirm the terahertz-wave emission. Our results provide a strong feasibility of developing long-sought solid-state terahertz-wave emission devices.

Anomalous Fluxon Properties of Layered Superconductors

Highly anisotropic layered superconductors can be considered as stacks of Josephson junctions (SJJ’s) [1, 2]. The key feature of SJJ’s is mutual coupling of junctions, which can be achieved via magnetic [3, 4], charging [5, 6] or nonequilibrium [7] coupling mechanisms. Properties of SJJ’s can be qualitatively different from that of single Josephson junctions (JJ’s) or anisotropic type-II superc...

Periodic vortex lattices for the Lawrence–Doniach model of layered superconductors in a parallel field

We consider the Lawrence–Doniach model for layered superconductors, in which stacks of parallel superconducting planes are coupled via the Josephson effect. We assume that the superconductor is placed in an external magnetic field oriented parallel to the superconducting planes and study periodic lattice configurations in the limit as the Josephson coupling parameter r → 0. This limit leads to ...

C-axis Josephson Plasma Resonance Observed in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 Superconducting Thin Films using Terahertz Time-Domain Spectroscopy

We have unambiguously observed the c-axis Josephson Plasma Resonance (JPR) in high-Tc cuprate Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 superconducting thin films employing terahertz time-domain spectroscopy in transmission as a function of temperature in zero magnetic field. These are the first measurements of the JPR temperature dependence of a high-Tc material in transmission. With increasing temperature, the JPR shift...

Terahertz-wave emission from Bi2212 intrinsic Josephson junctions: a review on recent progress

Emission of terahertz (THz) electromagnetic (EM) waves from a high critical temperature (Tc) superconductor intrinsic Josephson junction (IJJ) is a new and promising candidate for practical applications of superconducting devices. From the engineering viewpoint, the IJJ THz source is competitive against the present semiconducting THz sources such as quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) and resonance t...
