| Popis: | High temperature Superconductors (HTSCs) are a good candidate for developing THz radiation sensors. They are easy to manufacture and operate in the convenient temperature range of 80–140 K. The speed of operation of a THz sensor need to be controlled by a fast dissipation of heat, by the electrons which act as the sensing element. There is recently a surge in the development of fast and efficient low dimensional thermoelectric, temperature control devices. They would be ideal for cooling of the sensor, over the temperature interval of operation of the HTSCs. Status of these cooling devices towards achieving low temperature self cooling is discussed in the paper. Some results of the modeling study, carried out by the author, in an HTSC hot electron thermal sensor (HETS) are presented. |
