Abstract :
Several flat antennas consisting of a central slot surrounded by a metallic periodic structure are proposed to enhance the radiation of quantum cascade laser terahertz sources. A simulation study of the optimal profile for high gain and radiation efficiency is done. Prototypes are being fabricated.
