Many millimeter and far-infrared imaging systems are limited in sensitivity and speed
because they depend on a single scanned element. Because of recent advances in planar …

The past three decades have been a period where useful current and voltage instabilities in
solids have progressed from exciting research problems to a wide variety of commercially …

The state of development of receivers for submillimeter-wave radio astronomy is reviewed.
Bolometers for continuum observation, hot-electron mixer receivers for narrowband spectral …

Recent research on superconductors with high critical temperature has led to results that
were not available when the original German edition was prepared but could be included in …

Increased interest in the near-millimeter wavelength region, covering the range 3 mm to 300
µm, during the past decade has stimulated the development of sensitive heterodyne …

A fully quantum mechanical theory of diode mixers which includes quantization of the
external circuit is presented. We find that Tucker's theory for SIS mixer conversion …

A quantum‐statistical theory of microwave and millimeter‐wave detection using
superconducting tunnel junctions is developed, with a rigorous account of quantum, thermal …

We report on a novel step‐defined process used to produce small area (1–6 μm2), high
critical current density (102–104 A/cm2) superconducting tunnel junctions with Ta base …
