Abstract
A Mott diode structure is proposed for use as an optically pumped electronic mixer. Under forward bias, the structure should combine good responsivity with a nonlinear I/V characteristic for mixing. Predictions from an accurate mixer analysis indicate that efficient frequency conversion should be achievable at microwave frequencies.
