Abstract

A system includes a substrate, a high-temperature superconductor compound film disposed on the substrate, an array of superconducting regions formed within the film, a plurality of Josephson junctions formed within the film, where each Josephson junction of the plurality of Josephson junctions is formed between adjacent superconducting regions within the array of superconducting regions, and a voltage source connected to the array of superconducting regions. The plurality of Josephson junctions are separated by a distance such that they emit coherent radiation in the terahertz frequency range responsive to a voltage applied to the array of superconducting regions.
