文摘

Coherent sources of electromagnetic waves in terahertz frequency range is very promising for various applications, including biology and medicine. In this paper we propose a scheme of compact terahertz source, in which terahertz radiation is generated due to effective interaction of electrons in à quantum well with an electromagnetic wave of a corrugated waveguide. We have shown that the generation of electromagnetic waves with a frequency of 1012 s- and an output power of up to 25 mW is possible in the proposed scheme. keywords terahertz source corrugated waveguide electrons in a quantum well
