Abstract

We integrate a resonant tunneling diode chip with a terahertz-wave photonic-crystal waveguide for the development of terahertz-wave integrated circuits. The propagation frequency band of the photonic-crystal waveguide is successfully observed from the integrated device through the resonant tunneling diode as a terahertz detector. Finally, we achieve 3-Gbit/s error-free terahertz-wave communication using the device in the 300-GHz band.
