Journal ArticleDOI
Coherent terahertz photonics.
Alwyn J. Seeds,Martyn J. Fice,Katarzyna Balakier,Michele Natrella,Oleg Mitrofanov,Marco Lamponi,Mourad Chtioui,Frederic van Dijk,Michael Pepper,Gabriel Aeppli,A. Giles Davies,Paul Dean,Edmund H. Linfield,Cyril C. Renaud +13 more
TL;DR: To demonstrate how photonics-enabled THz systems can be realized, the performance of key components are reviewed, recent demonstrations of integrated platforms are shown, and examples of applications are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antenna Integrated THz Uni-Traveling Carrier Photodiodes
TL;DR: This paper develops the key elements to present a simple design tool for the efficient integration of the device with an antenna and presents fabricated device results that show the highest figure of merit to date for photonic THz emitters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Accurate equivalent circuit model for millimetre-wave UTC photodiodes.
Michele Natrella,Chin-Pang Liu,Chris Graham,Frederic van Dijk,Huiyun Liu,Cyril C. Renaud,Alwyn J. Seeds +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the measured impedance cannot be explained employing the standard junction-capacitance/series-resistance concept and a new model for the observed effects is proposed, which exhibits good agreement with the experimental data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of surface waves on a THz antenna detected by a near-field probe
Michele Natrella,Oleg Mitrofanov,Raimund Mueckstein,Chris Graham,Cyril C. Renaud,Alwyn J. Seeds +5 more
TL;DR: The first assessment of the probe invasiveness is carried out and it is found that the pattern of the surface plasmon wave on the antenna is not modified significantly by the proximity of the Probe, making the experimental system an effective tool for near-field imaging of THz antennas and other metallic structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling and measurement of the absolute level of power radiated by antenna integrated THz UTC photodiodes.
Michele Natrella,Chin-Pang Liu,Chris Graham,Frederic van Dijk,Huiyun Liu,Cyril C. Renaud,Alwyn J. Seeds +6 more
TL;DR: The ability to calculate the absolute emitted power correctly enables the radiated power to be maximised through optimisation of the UTC-to-antenna impedance match through 3D full-wave modelling of detailed UTC photodiode structures.
