Superlattice electronic devices as high-performance oscillators between 60–220 GHz
EHL-4: In collaboration with the University of Michigan, and supported in part through US-NSF, MoD and EPSRC funding, GaAs/AlAs superlattice electronic devices (SLEDs) were demonstrated with 30 times more power (at 101GHz) than any previous report, and the highest second-harmonic frequency (216GHz) to date. The work follows our earlier collaboration with Cambridge (Applied Physics Letters 93, 18 (2008)), showing a 100-fold enhancement of SLED power at 65GHz. This paper is one of a series of world-record performances for solid-state electronic devices at Leeds, which also includes world-record powers at 480GHz for InP Gunn diodes (Electronics Letters 46, 422–423 (2010)).
