Abstract
Reports on a new concept for THz photomixers, which are not (as usually) frequency limited by the carrier lifetime in low-temperature-grown GaAs. The concept is based on ballistic electron transport in a periodically doped heterostructure (p-i-n-p-i-n-superlattice) and allows for impedance matching to the attached antenna.
