Description | * theoretically predicted and experimentally confirmed transformation of ultrasound wave into (sub-THz) electromagnetic wave using semiconductor superlattice * theoretical prediction of THz output from a semiconductor superlattice driven by acoustic wave * developed a set of semi-classical and quantum models for description of electroacoustic effects in semiconductor superlattices |
Exploitation Route | THz acousto-electric devices studied in this project could be utilized for the manipulation of THz signals in high-resolution THz spectroscopy systems, for example a "single-chip" spectrometer using an acousto-electric THz generator and mixer both driven by a saser. |
