Submillimeter-wave sideband generation using a planar diode array

A 36 element array of planar Schottky diodes is used to mix the output of a CO/sub 2/ pumped far infrared laser with a 1-20 GHz microwave source to generate tunable sidebands at 1.6 THz. The double sideband power was measured by heterodyne detection with a 1T23 corner cube Schottky diode for a calcu...

Zusammenfassung:A 36 element array of planar Schottky diodes is used to mix the output of a CO/sub 2/ pumped far infrared laser with a 1-20 GHz microwave source to generate tunable sidebands at 1.6 THz. The double sideband power was measured by heterodyne detection with a 1T23 corner cube Schottky diode for a calculated output power of 5.9 /spl mu/W with a 28 dB conversion loss.
