Heterostructure low barrier diode (HLBD) based on AlGaInAs has been designed, fabricated and characterized for zero-bias millimetre-wave detection. Detectors with different heterostructures and various active areas have been tested in order to optimize their characteristics for low-level radiometric detection. We have measured the microwave performances of HLBD from DC to 220 GHz. A responsivity of...
We report on Gallium Nitride Self switching Diode used as detector in a terahertz imaging system. We propose to use the ionic implantation to define the nano-channels in the device, leading to an improved sensitivity in the mm-wave/THz regime. Preliminary results are given at 200 GHz.
Transistors are possible THz detectors using rectification in the channel that can be applied for detection of high data-rate wireless communications, based on THz-frequency carrier. For the first time, we present the transmission of pseudo-random bit sequence at 0.2 THz using a commercial GaAs transistor and demonstrate open eye patterns up to 0.250 Gbps.
We report on terahertz wireless communication experiments at 0.2 THz, using a commercial GaAs field-effect-transistor as detector. For the first time, we will present the transmission of pseudo-random bit sequence at 0.2 THz using this commercial transistor and demonstrate open eye-patterns up to 1.5 Gbps. This transistor is integrated into a machined horn, so that its sensitivity is improved to 1...
In this paper we present the advances on the fabrication of THz emitters and detectors obtained within the framework of the European ROOTHz project. Two types of devices are explored, self-switching diodes and slot-diodes, using both narrow bandgap and wide bandgap semiconductors. This broad approach allows us to improve the frequency and power generated by Gunn diodes and the responsivity and noise...
We evaluate the optical performance of AlGaN/GaN MISFETs as a non-resonant sub-terahertz, room temperature detector. The single-pixel responsivity and the noise equivalent power are determined. The efficiency of the detection is demonstrated by the room temperature imaging of different solutions of acetone in cyclohexane.
