An outline analysis is given of the key theoretical issues, such as oscillation and starting conditions, and how the output power scales with frequency. Two techniques for the realisation of the cavity assembly are outlined. The preferred method results in a free-standing gold re-entrant cavity of high surface quality. Field emitter tips are planned for use in this device: the present status of performance of these is described.","PeriodicalId":143116,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE Tenth International Conference on Terahertz Electronics","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127009651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The feasibility of this system for terahertz-wave absorption measurements over a wide frequency range was successfully demonstrated using low-pressure water vapor.","PeriodicalId":143116,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings, IEEE Tenth International Conference on Terahertz Electronics","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133415212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
