  • Abstract
    Antenna-integrated diode photomixers packaged with silicon lenses were characterized. Continuous THz wave generation at frequencies up to 2.5 THz is demonstrated. A strong bias dependent output level, which is more remarkable at higher frequency, is observed resulting from the ballistic nature of electron transport.
