Abstract

We report on a Stirling-cooled compact Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ intrinsic Josephson-junction stack with very high critical current density and improved cooling, operating at bath temperatures Tb up to 86 K. The square stand-alone stack is embedded between two sapphire substrates. For bath temperatures between 27.8 and 86 K emission is observed at frequencies from 0.356 to 2.09 THz. The emission power exceeds 1μW at bath temperatures between 60 and 80 K for emission frequencies between 0.5 and 0.88 THz. A record high value of 0.577 THz is obtained for the emission frequency at Tb=80K, which is important for potential applications using liquid nitrogen as a coolant. We also compare our experimental results with numerical simulations based on three-dimensional coupled sine-Gordon equations combined with heat diffusion equations.
