Article Citation - WoS: 39Citation - Scopus: 40Interferometer Measurements of Terahertz Waves From Bi 2sr 2cacu 2o 8+d Mesas(IOP Publishing Ltd., 2012) Türkoğlu, Fulya; Köseoğlu, Hasan; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Preu, Sascha; Malzer, Stefan; Şimşek, Yusuf; Müller, P.; Yamamoto, T.; Kadowaki, K.We fabricated rectangular mesa structures of superconducting Bi 2Sr 2CaCu 2O 8+d (Bi2212) using e-beam lithography and Ar ion beam etching techniques for terahertz (THz) emission. c-axis resistance versus temperature (R-T), current-voltage (I-V) characteristics and bolometric THz power measurements were performed to characterize Bi2212 mesas. The emission frequency of mesas was determined using a Michelson interferometer setup which also demonstrates polarized emission. Interference patterns of THz radiation from Bi2212 mesas were detected by various detectors such as a liquid helium cooled silicon composite bolometer, a Golay cell and a pyroelectric detector. An emitted power as high as 0.06mW was detected from Bi2212 mesas. For the first time, most of the pumped power was extracted as THz emission from a Bi2212 mesa. The radiation at 0.54THz was detected using the Michelson interferometric setup.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 40Thermal Management in Large Bi2212 Mesas Used for Terahertz Sources(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2009) Kurter, Cihan; Gray, Kenneth E.; Zasadzinski, John F.; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Koshelev, A. E.; Li, Q.; Yamamoto, T.; Kadowaki, K.; Kwok, W. K.; Tachiki, M.; Welp, U.We present a thermal analysis of a patterned mesa on a Bi 2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi2212) single crystal that is based on tunneling characteristics of the c-axis stack of ∼800 intrinsic Josephson junctions in the mesa. Despite the large mesa volume (e.g., 40 × 300 × 1.2 μm3) and power dissipation that result in self-heating and backbending of the current-voltage curve (I-V), there are accessible bias conditions for which significant polarized THz-wave emission can be observed. We estimate the mesa temperature by equating the quasiparticle resistance, Rqp(T), to the ratio V/I over the entire I-V including the backbending region. These temperatures are used to predict the unpolarized black-body radiation reaching our bolometer and there is substantial agreement over the entire I-V. As such, backbending results from the particular R qp (T) for Bi2212, as first discussed by Fenton, rather than a significant suppression of the energy gap. This model also correctly predicts the observed disappearance of backbending above ∼60 K.
