Low-frequency noise in hot-carrier detectors
Abstract
The low-frequency noise of hot-carrier detectors has been studied theoretically and experimentallyywith reference to the contributions of each of the following noise sources: thermal noise, shot effect, flicker noise, and noise generated in the input waveguide which is converted to thermoelectromotive force during detection. It is shown that hot-carrier detectors can be used for low-noise detection of electromagnetic radiation in the centimeter and millimeter ranges for various radioelectronic and measurements applications.
