摘要
This letter reports the fabrication and demonstration of an ErAs:GaAs interdigitated photomixer as a tunable THz source ranging from similar to20 GHz to similar to2 THz, with 12 muW maximum power typically around similar to90 GHz. Each photomixer is coupled to a composite dipole-spiral planar antenna that emits a Gaussian-type beam into free space. The beam switches from dipole to spiral antenna behavior as the frequency increases. A distributed Bragg reflector is embedded in the device beneath the photomixer to increase its external quantum efficiency. The photomixer has a 900 Angstrom thick silicon nitride coating which serves as an antireflection and passivation layer, and also improves the reliability and heat tolerance of the device.
