THz-range generation frequency growth in semiconductor superlattice coupled to external high-quality resonator

摘要

We investigate effects of a linear resonator on spatial electron dynamics in semiconductor superlattice. We have shown that coupling the external resonant system to superlattice leads to occurrence of the additional area of negative differential conductance on the current-voltage characteristic, which does not occur in autonomous system. Furthermore, this region shows great increase of generation frequency, that contains practical interest.
