Silicon Based Diode Noise Source Scaling For Noise Measurement Up To 325 GHz

H. Ghanem, J-C. Azevedo-Goncalves, Sylvie Lepilliet, D. Gloria, Christophe Gaquière, Francois Danneville, Guillaume Ducournau

In this article, we investigate the use of silicon-based diode for millimeter-wave noise generation. A test bench setup was characterized to perform broadband noise measurements up to 325 GHz. A noise receiver is assembled and its Noise Figure (NF) was extracted using cryogenic Hot/Cold…

Hole trap, leakage current and barrier inhomogeneity in (Pt/Au)-Al_0.2Ga_0.8N/GaN heterostructures

Salah Saadaoui, Olfa Fathallah, Fethi Albouchi, Mohamed Mongi Ben Salem, Christophe Gaquière, Hassen Maaref

In this work, we report on the electrical characteristics of Pt/Au Schottky contacts to Al_0.2Ga_0.8N/GaN heterostructures. Indeed, we have realized gate current-voltage I(V) and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements. The behavior study of…

Terahertz radiation confinement using metallic resonators

T. Hannotte, M. Lavancier, S. Mitryukovskiy, Jean-Francois Lampin, Romain Peretti

We designed, fabricated and characterized a micro-resonator in the terahertz range to increase light matter interaction using near-field optics. The goal of our device is to confine a THz electric field in a volume smaller than the diffraction limit to enhance light matter interaction with…

A Suspended Silicon Terahertz platform with low loss waveguide and high Q Photonic Crystal cavities

Elias Akiki, Mattias Verstuyft, Guillaume Ducournau, Benjamin Walter, Estelle Mairiaux, Marc Faucher, Jean-Francois Lampin, Bart Kuyken, Mathias Vanwolleghem

A high Q optical resonator and ultra-low losses of a silicon suspended waveguide, are experimentally measured and presented, in order to demonstrate the working of a designed photoacoustic terahertz gas sensor presented in our previous work.

LT-GaAs-based photomixers with >2 mW peak output power up to 320 GHz

F Bavedila, Etienne Okada, Jean-Francois Lampin, Guillaume Ducournau, Emilien Peytavit

It is shown in this communication that a LT-GaAs photomixer based on an optically resonant cavity is able to generate peak output powers above 2 mW up to 320 GHz when it is driven by optical pulses of 5 ns width at a repetition rate of 10 MHz.

Terahertz pulsed-field magneto-spectrometer at room-temperature

Jean-Francois Lampin, Antoine Pagies, S Barbieri, L. Desplanque, Xavier Wallart, Jeffrey Hesler, Oleksiy Drachenko, Jean Léotin

We have developed a compact pulsed-field THz magneto-spectrometer based on a THz molecular laser and heterodyne detection both at room-temperature. The recently developed continuous-wave THz laser uses mid-IR-pumped ammonia as active medium. The receiver is based on a subharmonic mixer pumped by a…

Linearity and robustness evaluation of 150-nm AlN/GaN HEMTs

Mehdi Rzin, Matteo Meneghini, Fabiana Rampazzo, V. Gao Zhan, Carlo de Santi, Riad Kabouche, Malek Zegaoui, F Medjdoub, Gaudenzio Meneghesso, Enrico Zanoni

We report on linearity and robustness of AlN/GaN HEMTs with ultra-thin 4 nm AlN barrier for millimeter wave range applications. Static and dynamic I-V characteristics feature high peak transconductance (g mpeak) of 385 mS/mm, and the transconductance exhibits small changes with gate bias. Semi on-…

Modified AFM-tip for Infrared and THz near field microscopy

Tahsin Akalin

Near field microscopy is commonly achieved thanks to the exaltation of the field between a tip and the sample. The free space electromagnetic wave at infrared or THz frequencies is focused in this extremely small area compared to the wavelength. In many cases, the probe is a classical AFM-tip which…
