Terahertz (THz) detectors play an increasing role in different areas of human activities (eg,
security, biological, drugs and explosions detection, imaging, astronomy applications, etc.) …

In the paper, issues associated with the development and exploitation of terahertz (THz)
radiation detectors are discussed. The paper is written for those readers who desire an …

In this work, we report on Monte Carlo simulations of InP and GaN vertical Gunn diodes to
optimize their oscillation frequency and DC to AC conversion efficiency. We show that …

The conditions for THz radiation generation caused by electron transit-time resonance in
momentum and real spaces under optical phonon emission are analyzed for nitride-based …

A study of the high-frequency performance of GaN-based asymmetric self-switching diodes
(SSDs) designed for a room-temperature sub-THz Gunn emission, and connected to a …

The time-domain operation of GaAs, InP and GaN vertical n+ n-nn+ Gunn diodes and GaN
planar self-switching diodes (SSDs) is numerically investigated by using the Monte Carlo …

In this chapter we present a review and appraisal of energy harvesting using rectenna
devices ('rectifying antennas') at THz and solar frequencies. The concept involves capturing …

Understanding the behaviour of space-charge between two electrodes is important for a
number of applications. The Shockley-Ramo theorem and equivalent circuit models are …

An analytical model of the high-frequency noise of frequency multipliers based on Schottky-
barrier diodes (SBD) operating in series with a parallel resonant circuit under large-signal …

The design, fabrication and testing of a frequency heterodyne receiver at 1.2 THz has been
developed by Laboratoire d'Etudes du Rayonnement et de la Matière en Astrophysique et …
