Abstract |
A new multifrequency quasioptical electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectrometer is described. The superheterodyne design with Schottky diode mixer/detectors enables fast detection with subnanosecond time resolution. Optical access makes it suitable for transient EPR (TR-EPR) at 120 and 240 GHz. These high frequencies allow for an accurate determination of small g-tensor anisotropies as are encountered in excited triplet states of organic molecules like porphyrins and fullerenes. The measured concentration sensitivity for continuous-wave (cw) EPR at 240 GHz and at room temperature without cavity is 1013 spins/cm3 (15 nM) for a 1 mT linewidth and a 1 Hz bandwidth. With a Fabry-Perot cavity and a sample volume of 30 nl, the sensitivity at 240 GHz corresponds to [approximate]3×109 spins for a 1 mT linewidth. The spectrometer's performance is illustrated with applications of transient EPR of excited triplet states of organic molecules, as well as cw EPR of nitroxide reference systems and a thin film of a colossal magnetoresistance material. |

Abstract |
This paper describes a new 200–350-GHz dual polarization heterodyne radiometer receiver for radio astronomy applications. The receiver incorporates four pairs of cryogenically cooled Schottky-barrier diode single-ended mixers, each pair covering a 30–40-GHz subband of the full operating band. Each mixer, with its IF amplifier, is mounted in an individual cryogenic subdewar comprising a separate vcuum chamber and a cold stage, which may be readily thermally connected to or disconnected from the main refrigerator by a novel mechanical heat switch. A dual polarization LO diplexer is mounted on a rotary table above the subdewars. For band selection, the two diplexer rf output ports may be positioned over any of the four pairs of subdewars. The SSB receiver noise temperatues achieved are less than 500 K between 200 and 240 GHz, less than 800 K between 245 and 275 GHz and 1500 K at 345 GHz. |

Abstract |
We demonstrate that in the terahertz region superconducting hot-electron mixers offer the lowest noise temperature, opening the possibility of using HTS's in the future to fabricate these devices. Specifically, a noise temperature of 950 K was measured for the receiver operating at 2.5 THz with a NbN HEB mixer, and a gain bandwidth of 6 GHz was measured at 300 GHz near Tc for the same mixer. |

Abstract |
We present a wireless link system that uses millimeter-wave (MMW) photonic techniques. The photonic transmitter in the wireless link consists of an optical 120-GHz MMW generator, an optical modulator, and a high-power photonic MMW emitter. A uni-traveling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD) was used as the photonic emitter in order to eliminate electronic MMW amplifiers. We evaluated the dependence of UTC-PD output power on its transit-time limited bandwidth and its CR-time constant limited bandwidth, and employed a UTC-PD with the highest output power for the photonic emitter. As for the MMW generation, we developed a 120-GHz optical MMW generator that generates a pulse train and one that generates a sinusoidal signal. The UTC-PD output power generated by a narrow pulse train was higher than that generated by sinusoidal signals under the same average optical power condition, which contributes to reducing the photocurrent of the photonic emitter. We have experimentally demonstrated that the photonic transmitter can transmit data at up to 3.0 Gb/s. The wireless link using the photonic transmitter can be applied to optical gigabit Ethernet signals. |
