Solid State Microwave and Millimeter Electronics

Abstract

There has been a great deal of interest in recent years in the investigation of signals in the terahertz frequency range of the electromagnetic spectrum. One impediment to this ongoing research is the lack of useful sources of energy and detectors in this spectral region. One promising solution to this problem is the use of non-linear optics and the process of difference frequency generation (DFG). This dissertation investigates the use of DFG in dielectric waveguide structures utilizing the resonant enhancement of asymmetric quantum wells.
