Enhancement of terahertz radiation by CW infrared laser excitation in a doubly interdigitated grating gates transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report on a broadband terahertz emission from a doubly interdigitated grating gates high electron mobility transistor. The observed emission was explained as due to the excitation of multi mode of plasmons: thermally excited incoherent modes and instability-driven coherent modes. The experiment was performed using Fourier spectrometer system coupled with high sensitive 4K Silicon bolometer under the vacuum. To enhance the efficiency, the device was subjected, from the backside, to a CW 1.5 !m laser beam. Dependence of the emission on the gate bias was observed and interpreted as due to the self-oscillation of the plasma waves.

Effectively exciting plasmonic resonance by supplemental gates for terahertz photodetection in a grating gated field- effect transistor
An alternative-grating gated AlGaN/GaN field-effect transistor (FET) is proposed by considering the slit regions to be covered by a highly doped semiconductor acting as supplemental gates. The plasmonic resonant absorption spectra are studied at THz frequencies using the FDTD method. The simulated results show that the 2DEGs, under supplemental gates, modulated by a positive voltage, can make t...

We analytically investigated the feasibility of multiplier operation in the terahertz range for our original plasmon resonant photomixer. The photomixer features two unique structures (doubly interdigitated gate gratings and a vertical cavity) for higher radiation efficiencies. Its total field emission properties are the result of a combination of plasmon excitation dynamics and electromagnetic...
