PublicationNoise properties of unipolar nanodiodes at elevated temperatures( 2021-12)
;Arun K. Singh ;Claudio BaloccoAimin SongA unipolar nanodiode known as the self-switching diode has been demonstrated as a room-temperature terahertz detector, with its noise-equivalent-power value comparable to those of the state-of-the-art Schottky diodes. Here, we study its performance at elevated temperatures and show an unusual reduction in low-frequency noise, which may be useful for practical applications. The experiments suggest that the increased thermionic emissions result in the reduced device resistance and hence the lowered noise. The observed noise behavior appears to be in good agreement with Hooge’s mobility fluctuation theory. -
PublicationTerahertz imaging using nanorectifier-based detectors and broadband thermal sources( 2023-12)
;Arun K. Singh ;Claudio BaloccoAimin SongSeveral terahertz imaging experiments have been conducted at room temperature using a self-switching diode (SSD) rectenna as a detector, and a broadband thermal source (at 610 °C) as a continuous-wave terahertz generator. Since the terahertz emission produced by the source is non-coherent with random polarizations and has a wide-ranging spectrum, the SSD-based rectenna employed in this work utilizes a planar spiral micro- antenna which has a circular polarization that able to effectively capture all incident radiation regardless of the angles. The antenna has been designed for a broadband frequency response in the range of 0.1-10 THz. This is to ensure the terahertz images produced are ascribed to the terahertz radiation collected by the antenna, but without eliminating the possibility of thermal effects at frequencies higher than the terahertz region. In order to further validate the results obtained, an Airy pattern experiment has been conducted. Based on this experiment, the effective frequency response of the SSD rectenna is estimated at 2.29 THz. The utilization of thermal source and micro-size rectenna in this work may pave the way to explore many opportunities in developing flexible, compact, and low-cost terahertz imaging systems without the use of expensive components (e.g., typically lasers are used as terahertz sources).
