  • Abstract
    We consider THz emission due to fluxon dynamics in a stack of inductively coupled long Josephson junctions connected electrically to a resonant cavity. By comparing to experiments on Josephson junction parametric amplifiers we consider the role of a negative resistance in connection with THz emission experiments. We suggest that indeed the negative resistance has a big influence on the experimental results.
