Abstract
A solid-state implementation of a cyclotron radiation source consisting of arrays of semicircular geometries was designed, fabricated, and characterized on commercially available graphene on hBN substrates. Using a 10 µm design radius and device width, respectively, such devices were expected to emit a continuous band of radiation spanning from 3 to 6 GHz with a power 3.96 nW. A peak emission was detected at 4.15 GHz with an effective array gain of 22 dB. This is the first known experimental measurement of cyclotron radiation from a curved planar graphene geometry. With scaling, it may be possible achieve frequencies in the THz range with such a device.
