11 Th International Symposium on Space Terahertz Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the measurements and the theoretical model on the frequency dependent noise temperature of a lattice cooled hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer in the terahertz frequency range. The experimentally observed increase of the noise temperature with frequency is a cumulative effect of the non-uniform distribution of the high frequency current in the bolometer and the charge imbalance, which occurs near the edges of the normal domain and contacts with normal metal. In addition, we present experimental results which show that the noise temperature of a HEB mixer can be reduced by about 30% due to a Parylene antireflection coating on the Silicon hyperhemispheric lens.

Terahertz (THz) radiation, which lies in the frequency gap between the infrared and microwaves, typically referred to as the frequencies from 100 GHz to 30 THz, has long been studied in fields such as astronomy and analytical science. However, recent technological innovation in photonics and nanotechnology is now enabling THz research to be applied in many more sectors. Today, THz technology is...

In the far-infrared (FIR) / THz regime the angular (and often spectral) resolution of observing facilities is still very restricted despite the fact that this frequency range has become of prime importance for modern astrophysics. ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) with its superb sensitivity and angular resolution will only cover frequencies up to about 1 THz, while the HIFI instrument for ...
