摘要：

The dc I-V characteristic of a triple-barrier resonant tunneling diode (RTD) integrated in a bowtie antenna and driven by THz radiation displays up to five additional resonant tunneling channels. These channels appear as additional peaks in the I-V characteristic whose voltage positions vary linearly with frequency in the investigated range between nu = 1.0 and 3.4 THz. We attribute these peaks to photon-assisted tunneling processes corresponding to absorption and stimulated emission of up to three photons. The experiments suggest that such a device can be utilized to detect and generate THz radiation. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
