我们提出了谐振隧穿二极管（RTD）振荡器工作在1111 GHz的基频。我们表明，我们的RTD和RTD振荡器有很大的空间，进一步改善其参数和进一步提高其工作频率。RTD振荡器应该可以实现几个THz的工作频率。我们的研究还表明，在太赫兹频率下，RTD超过弛豫时间限制的操作应该是可能的。研究中的RTD振荡器是非常紧凑的（小于一平方毫米）室温相干连续太赫兹辐射源。这样的源应该能够实现大量的现实世界的THz应用。(C)2011年美国物理学会。[doi：10.1063/1.3667191]
We present resonant-tunnelling-diode (RTD) oscillators operating at the fundamental frequency of 1111 GHz. We show that our RTDs and RTD oscillators have much room for further improvement of their parameters and for further increase of their operating frequencies. The operating frequencies of several THz should be achievable with RTD oscillators. Our study also shows that operation of RTDs beyond the relaxation-time limit at THz frequencies should be possible. RTD oscillators under study are extremely compact (less than a square millimeter) room-temperature sources of coherent cw THz radiation. Such sources should enable plenty of real-world THz applications. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3667191]
