Abstract
It is found that coherent electromagnetic (EM) radiation in terahertz (THz) band takes place when a single crystal of cuprate high-Tc superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ (BSCCO) is biased by a dc voltage. In this work we study the inductively coupled sine-Gordon equations which compose a good model for intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs) realized in BSCCO due to the strong layer structure. We derive a general solution for the coupled sine-Gordon equations valid for weak and moderate inductive couplings, which can enhance injection of dc energy into IJJs and convert it to THz EM radiation. This solution evolves into the π phase kink state known before for strong inductive coupling.
