Abstract:
An original design of a selective high-efficiency receiver on the basis of the Schottky diode with beamed outputs is proposed. It is shown that the optimization of the sizes of its elements and location of the periodic lattices in the layer of elastic dielectric lead to the reflection losses — 38 dB, conversion efficiency 97% and resonance frequency detection of 36,5 THz.
Keywords:terahertz radiation, low-barrier zero-bias Schottky diode, layer of the elastic dielectric, bulk conductivity, $n^+$-layer, epitaxial layer of $n$-type.
