    摘要: A semiconductor device and method of its fabrication are provided to enable the device operation in a THz spectral range. The device comprises a heterostructure including at least first (12) and second (13) semiconductor layers. The first and second layers are made of materials providing a quantum mechanical coupling between an electron quantum well (EQW) in the first layer and a hole quantum well (HQW) in the second layer, and providing an overlap between the valence band of the material of the second layer and the conduction band of the material of the first layer. A layout of the layers is selected so as to provide a predetermined dispersion of energy subbands in the conduction band of the first layer and the valence band of the second layer. An application of an external bias field across the first and second layers causes THz radiation originating from radiative transitions of non-equilibrium carriers between at least one of the following: neighboring energy subbands of the EQW, neighboring energy subbands of the HQW, and ground energy subbands of the EQW and HQW.

    摘要: The present invention improves the efficiency of conversion from a non-radiation two-dimensional electron plasmon wave into a radiation electromagnetic wave, and realizes a wide-band characteristic. A terahertz electromagnetic wave radiation element of the present invention comprises a semiinsulating semiconductor bulk layer, a two-dimensional electron layer formed directly above the semiconductor bulk layer by a semiconductor heterojunction structure, source and drain electrodes electrically connected to two opposed sides of the two-dimensional electron layer, a double gate electrode grating which is provided in the vicinity of and parallel to the upper surface of the two-dimensional electron layer and for which two different dc bias potentials can be alternately set, and a transparent metal mirror provided in contact with the lower surface of the semiconductor bulk layer, formed into a film shape, functioning as a reflecting mirror in the terahertz band, and being transparent in the light wave band. Two light waves are caused to enter from the lower surface of the transparent metal mirror, and two different dc bias potentials are alternately applied to the double gate electrode grating so as to periodically modulate the electron density of the two-dimensional electron layer in accordance with the configuration of the double gate electrode grating.

    摘要: Optically pumped maser are described. The devices are useful for microwave amplification, microwave phase shifting and microwave limiting function. The devices are based on electron spin polarization of a stable free radical species induced by an intermolecular energy transfer process acting via a photo induced radical triplet pair mechanism. A radical triplet precursor chromophore in a matrix with the stable free radical species is irradiated, preferably using a pulsed laser to initiate the process with concomitant increase in matrix magnetic susceptibility. Microwave radiation incident on the photo activated matrix is reflected as amplified, phase shifted or limited microwave fields dependent on relevant device parameters and on the power of the incident microwave radiation.

    摘要: Optical system architectures with improved spatial resolution are provided in which the radiation useful for THz spectroscopy and other investigative procedures can be directionally coupled, in a highly efficient manner, into and out of photoconductive structures such, for example, as dipole antennas. An optical system constructed in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention comprises a source for emitting radiation in a range of frequencies within from 100 GHz to 20 THz, a coupling lens structure for coupling radiation emitted by said source into free space, at least one collimating optical element for collimating received coupled radiation into a beam having a substantially frequency independent diameter and substantially no wavefront curvature, and a detector for detecting the beam collimated by the at least one collimating optical element. In an optical system constructed in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, a modified substrate lens structure is used and the collimating optical element is replaced by at least one optical element that focuses received coupled radiation onto a diffraction limited focal spot on or within the medium under investigation.
