Abstract

Detection of a 54.3-GHz beatnote at 10.6 μm has been observed with a hot carrier diode mixer. The diode consists of a “cat whisker” antenna, which forms an ohmic point contact to n-InAs. The mechanism of this room-temperature detector is described as the “thermoelectric effect” of hot carriers.
