The beam profile has been measured and transformed in to a close to Gaussian profile resulting in a good matching between the field patterns of the quantum cascade laser and the antenna of a superconducting hot electron bolometric mixer. Noise temperature measurements with the hot electron bolometer and a 2.5 THz quantum cascade laser yielded the same result as with a gas laser as local oscillator.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=627), last updated on Tue, 05 Jul 2011 23:13:15 -0500" }
