Abstract :
GaInAs/AlInAs superlattice oscillators with optical access have been fabricated and tested in the V-band. The devices exhibit the NDC mechanism at frequencies higher than 65 GHz, with low parasitic damping and a gain value of 6 dB at 65 GHz. The measured S-parameters are in fair agreement with a simple numerical simulation
