Abstract

The invention discloses a device which utilizes josephson junction to detect terahertz signal spectrums, the main improvement is that first, the device utilizes a mini refrigerator to replace a liquid nitrogen vessel in the original system to refrigerate, second, a current supply which is controlled by voltage is formed by a scanning voltage module in a DSP system and an external voltage-current conversion circuit to replace a current bias circuit of josephson junction in the original system, and third, a lock-in amplifier and a digital multimeter in the original system are replaced by a DSP data collecting and processing system. The device adopts an improved DSP technique, which integrates the main functions of the generation of sweep signals, the automatic measurement control, the lock-in amplifier and the like, thereby greatly reducing the volume of the device, lowering the production cost, and achieving the intellectualization and the miniaturization of the device.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for measuring electromagnetic signals by using a superconducting Josephson junction, and the system is mainly used for detecting terahertz (THz) spectrum information. 2. Background technology [0002] The rapid development of ultrafast laser technology in the past decade has greatly promoted the development of terahertz wave generation, detection and application technology. This electromagnetic wave band, once called "THz blank", has made a lot of progress in the research in recent years. In order to study and apply terahertz technology, terahertz wave detection has become an urgent problem to be solved. There are many terahertz wave detection methods, each with its own characteristics. Among them, using a superconducting Josephson structure to form a spectrum information detector is a new achievement in the research and application of terahertz detection technology. [0003] At present, the use of spectrum analyz...
