THz and sub-THz oscillations, current instability in self-oscillatory avalanche diode, chaotic instability, radarAbstract
Nowadays, the most common way of getting a THz source is based on frequency multiplication of microwave signals or on the two lasers frequencies mixing to produce a THz signal as the difference of the two optical frequencies. Development of a self-oscillaMetrics
