Generation of Terahertz Radiation Spectra by Radiation Sources Based on Solid-State Micro- and Nanostructures and Detection of Terahertz Spectra

Principles and mechanisms of generation of terahertz electromagnetic oscillations by generators based on solid-state micro- and nanostructures are discussed. Parameters of experimental models of such devices are given. A theoretical model of terahertz radiation in magnetic metal junctions is presented, and the possibility of varying the frequency of a spin-injection terahertz oscillator is demonstrated. The results of development of methods for examining the spectral characteristics of radiation in the 0.15–80 THz range with a spectral resolution of up to 1.8 GHz are detailed.
