Abstract

Moving vortex lattice in type-II superconductors can result in the radiation of electromagnetic waves in the range of terahertz frequency. The vortex flow dynamics in superconductors follow the London equation. In this paper, the effects of the superconductor coherence length and the London penetration depth on the radiated power is investigated by solving the London equation in the presence of vortices. The results show that by decreasing the coherence length, the radiation power will significantly increase. Also, it is possible to obtain more radiated power with a sharp peak by increasing the penetration depth. Further investigation of the effect of Joule heating reveals that radiation power is almost independent of temperature when we are far from critical temperature. But on the other hand, near the critical temperature, the radiation power is strongly dependent on the temperature variation. Also, by increasing the bias current, the radiation power will augment, and the frequency of radiated peaks will change accordingly.
