Abstract:

We report on computer simulation of electromagnetic self-excitation in a cavity with a dielectric mirror and an array of active THz devices. Assuming the devices are sufficiently fast, we observed either continuous nonlinear oscillations or the trains of ultra-short pulses depending on the thickness and refractive index of the dielectric mirror.
