Reststrahlen Band assisted photocurrents in graphene
- 2013

In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035. - 9781467347174

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on the experimental and theoretical study of the Reststrahlen Band assisted photocurrents in epitaxial grown graphene on SiC. We show that excitation of graphene with infrared radiation results in a dc current. We demonstrate that photocurrent in response to linearly polarized radiation exhibit a resonance enhancement in the frequency range of the Reststrahlen Band of the SiC substrate. By contrast the photocurrent excited by circularly polarized radiation is suppressed in the same spectral range. The developed theory is in agreement with the data and reveals a strong influence of the Reststrahl Band on the high frequency transport in graphene.

200 GHz communication system using unipolar InAs THz rectifiers
- 2013
-
In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035. - 9781467347174

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on the first use of a THz detector based on InAs rectifying nanochannels in a communication system. The transmitter is composed of an electronic multiplication chain, externally amplitude modulated at the input signal. The system has been driven at 200 GHz and up to 500 Mbps data signals have been transmitted in an indoor configuration. In contrast to most nanodevices, the InAs detector has a low impedance (580 ω) and is therefore easily loaded by 50 ω electronics. The data rate limitation is mainly coming from parasitics coupled in the board. © 2013 IEEE.

Magnetic quantum ratchet effect in graphene
- 2013
-
In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035. - 9781467347174
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report on the observation of magnetic quantum ratchet (MQR) effect induced by electric field of terahertz radiation in single-layer graphene samples subjected to an inplane magnetic field. We show that the dc electric current stems from the orbital asymmetry of the Dirac fermions induced by an in-plane magnetic field, while the periodic driving comes from terahertz radiation. A microscopic theory of the observed effect is developed being in a good qualitative agreement with the experiment. The observation of the ratchet transport in the purest possible two-dimensional system indicates that the orbital effects may appear and be substantial in other 2D crystals, such as boron nitride, molybdenum dichalcogenides, and related heterostructures. The measurable orbital effects in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field give strong evidence for the existence of structure inversion asymmetry in graphene.

Road Surface Characterization Using a Radiometer at 100 GHz
- 2020
-
In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035. ; 2020-November, s. 136-137
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A dual polarization super-heterodyne radiometer operating between 85 and 100 GHz has been developed and used for surface characterization. The instrument can detect changes from dry to icy road in many environmental conditions (night, fog, rain) by measuring the combination of reflected/transmitted radiation from the surface at two orthogonal polarizations. The difference in brightness temperature between those polarizations is an accurate tool to distinguish ice from dry road surfaces. Results from measurement of dry asphalt and ice layers on asphalt are presented in this paper.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- High sensitivity room temperature THz direct detectors made of YBa2Cu3O7-x nano-bridges, with a broadband optical coupling (0.1-2THz) are presented. An optical responsivity (RV) up to 45 V/W was measured at 400 GHz. For bolometers with an electrical responsivity of 70 V/W a noise equivalent power (NEP) of 50 pW/Hz0.5 was experimental obtained.

In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents on-wafer S-parameter characterisation of resonant-tunnelling diodes between 0.5 THz and 1.1 THz. Diodes with a peak current density of 532 kA/cm2 and a clear negative differential region have been fabricated. An on-chip Multi-Thru-Reflect-Line calibration kit was developed and utilised to achieve accurate S-parameter measurements up to 1.1 THz.

An Integrated 200-GHz Graphene FET Based Receiver
- 2018
-
In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035. ; 2018-September
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A receiver composed by a graphene FET 200-GHz mixer and a 1-GHz intermediate frequency amplifier integrated on a silicon substrate was modelled, fabricated and characterized. This is the first demonstration of a millimeter wave integrated receiver based on graphene FETs. The receiver conversion loss is measured to be 25 dB across the 185-205-GHz band with 16 dBm of local oscillator pump power, which is in good agreement with the circuit simulations. The simulations show that the receiver conversion loss can be significantly reduced to 16 dB by reducing the contact resistance and by realizing a higher charge carrier mobility in the mixer transistor.

- We present sub-millimeter wave transceiver modules intended for imaging radar applications. In particular a novel circuit architecture that operates in homodyne FMCW radar mode will be highlighted [1], and the trade-offs between performance and circuit complexity will be discussed. The transceiver units are based on monolithically integrated Schottky diodes fabricated on 3 μm thick membranes. Radar images with 60 dB of signal-to-noise at 220 GHz will be presented as well as design results for a 340 GHz unit.

- 2017
-
In: International Conference on Infrared, Millimeter, and Terahertz Waves, IRMMW-THz. - 2162-2027 .- 2162-2035. - 9781509060504 ; , s. Art no: 8067104-
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- There is a high need for >2 THz room temperature direct-detectors/harmonic-mixers to characterize THz optical sources, phase lock THz-QCLs as LO sources for multi-pixel receivers, and realize absolute frequency calibration sources for applications in astrophysics, earth science, and remote sensing. Thus, we have developed a WM-52 (WR-0.22) harmonic mixer for the 3–5 THz operation. The design, fabrication and assembly of the THz mixer are discussed.
