We report on THz emission measurements and low temperature scanning laser imaging of Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_8 intrinsic Josephson junction stacks. Coherent emission is observed at large dc input power, where a hot spot and a standing wave, formed in the "cold" part of the stack, coexist. By varying the hot spot size the cavity resonance frequency and the emitted radiation can be tuned. The linewidth of radiation is much smaller than expected from the quality factor of the cavity mode excited. Thus, an…

Arrays of synchronized Josephson junctions can be used as coherent frequency sources where the voltage across the junctions is connected to the frequency only via fundamental constants. Recent
Design and characterization of microstrip patch antennas for high-Tc superconducting terahertz emitters.
The designed and characterized a microstrip pattern of planar patch antennas compatible with a cuprate high-Tc superconducting terahertz emitter, and a remarkably anisotropic polarization at an axial ratio of up to 16.9 indicates a mode-locking effect enable constructing compactly assembled, monolithic, and broadly tunable superconductors sources.
