In the most efficient devices at present, optically pumped lasers and gas-discharge systems such as the HCN laser, excitation supplied at energy hslash omega ∼ leV produces NMMW photons of energy hslash omega ∼ 1−2 ev, the remainder of the excitation energy being trapped in the molecule. This leads to an intrinsic reduction ξ o = Omega/ omega ∼ 10−2 in power conversion efficiency, since in these systems, each excitation quantum yields at best one NMMW photon.","PeriodicalId":254777,"journal":{"name":"1981 International Conference on Submillimeter Waves and Their Applications","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125632526","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}

With recent advances in millimeter-wave technology, various transmission lines have been introduced that can be quite useful in the upper frequency bands. By combining classical theory and numerical methods, it is possible to predict the characteristics of these structures and develop a reliable network design that utilizes them. The most common transmission lines may be grouped into four categories: Dielectric waveguides, Semi-open structures, Non-TEM lines, and Quasi-TEM lines. Extensive work has been performed on all of these so reference data is not difficult to obtain.","PeriodicalId":254777,"journal":{"name":"1981 International Conference on Submillimeter Waves and Their Applications","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129840894","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}
