High electron mobility transistors can work as room-temperature direct detectors of radiation at frequency much higher than their cutoff frequency. One open issue is how the radiation couples to the sub-wavelength transistor channel. Here, we studied the coupling of radiation to an AlGaN/GaN transistor with cut-off frequency of 30 GHz. Local irradiation with a free electron laser source at 0.15 THz...
We explore the possibility of using an AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) as a free-space coupled homodyne mixer. We used 150 GHz radiation from a Free Electron Laser, hence 5 times higher than the HEMT nominal band center at 30 GHz. The homodyne mixing provides a quasi-dc output signal, which makes the HEMT a detector of the radiation at 150 GHz.
An active two dimensional near field imaging of a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) used as THz detector has been performed. The reflective imaging system developed at the ENEA FEL Facility in Frascati has been used to this purpose. This imaging technique has shown to be particularly powerful in resolving various coupling mechanisms of the incident radiation with the device.
