摘要：

The submillimeter wave frequency responses of NbN/AlN/NbN tunnel junctions have been investigated using quasioptical coupling techniques and an optically pumped far-infrared laser. A two junction array was integrated at the feeds of a bowtie antenna. Measurements on the junctions were made by monitoring photon-assisted tunneling steps induced in the current-voltage characteristics. These n=±1 photon steps were clearly observed with irradiation at 303, 594, 693, and 762 GHz. The results suggest it will be possible to realize submillimeter wave mixers by using these junctions.© 1995 American Institute of Physics.
