Abstract

We report on frequency multiplication of microwave radiation by propagating space-charge domains in a semiconductor superlattice; the domains were due to a negative differential mobility of miniband electrons. We irradiated an arrangement of two GaAs/AlAs superlattices, mounted in a rectangular waveguide system, with microwave radiation (frequency near 70 GHz) and observed the generation of ...
