摘要: The fabrication and application of metal-barrier-metal tunneling junctions for radiative interactions are discussed. Particular attention is given to the photolithographic small area devices coupling such via surface plasmon waves which play an important role at infrared optical frequencies. It has been shown that junction electron currents can be strongly coupled modes, spontaneous stimulated emission latter possible as well nonlinear interactions. Finally, results demonstrating photo-excitation electrons with subsequent induced by ultraviolet radiation presented. estimated quantum efficiencies order 5% higher in region.
