Abstract

We report on a semiconductor-superlattice frequency multiplier for the generation of submillimeter waves. A monochromatic microwave-pump field (frequency near 100 GHz) periodically excited a superlattice into states of negative differential conductivity giving rise to space-charge domain creation and annihilation joint with a nonsinusoidal high-frequency current and radiation at harmonics of the ...
