Abstract

The present state of the art in magnetically tunable detectors and emitters in the FIR range is reviewed. On the detector side two materials are widely used: InSb and GaAs. New aspects for tunable narrowband detection provide experiments with hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial stress in InSb.

Landau emission has been investigated in several semiconductors and a useful source for spectroscopy with a resolution below 1 cm−1 has been developed.

New promising concepts for tunable sources have been demonstrated recently: The broadband and tunable emission from streaming carriers in crossed electric and magnetic fields and the radiative decay of two-dimensional plasma oscillations as present in Si-MOS structures via a grating antenna.
