Abstract :
A new plasmon-resonant THz-wave emitter is fabricated and characterized. The heterostructure of the device consists of double-decked high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) and the upper-deck HEMT works as a grating antenna to convert the non-radiative plasmonic wave in the lower-deck HEMT channel to radiative THz electromagnetic wave. This conversion can be done more efficiently than a metal grating antenna. The experimental observed clear evidence of the THz-wave emission from the double-decked HEMT device.
