专利汇可以提供Superlattice harmonic generator & mixer for electromagnetic waves专利检索，专利查询，专利分析的服务。并且The disclosure relates to a device for generating electromagnetic waves which have wavelengths different from an input wavelength to the device. The device consists of man-made superlattice structure fabricated by epitaxial deposition techniques to which at least one electromagnetic wave is applied. The input wave has an electric field component parallel to the longitudinal axis of the superlattice structure. Because of the special characteristic of the superlattice structure, it is possible to obtain as outputs all the odd harmonics of the input wavelength. By applying an electric field parallel to the longitudinal axis of the superlattice, it is possible to obtain both odd and even harmonics of the input wavelength. By switching the electric field, a gating action is obtained. To select the desired harmonic, appropriate filters are used. Mixing as well as harmonic generation is possible with the arrangements disclosed by applying a plurality of input wavelengths which by multiple photon processes produce outputs having relatively long wavelengths compared to the input wavelength. The mixed outputs in both the presence and absence of an applied electric field are obtainable by filtering. Thus, inputs in the visible range may be mixed to provide outputs in the far infrared region which are not easily obtainable using prior art arrangements.，下面是Superlattice harmonic generator & mixer for electromagnetic waves专利的具体信息内容。
