▎ 摘　　要

NOVELTY - The emitter (700) includes a graphene layer (706) which is bonded to an insulator (704) bonded to a substrate (702). A first electrical contact (708) and a second electrical contact (712) are bonded over a first portion and a second portion of the graphene layer, respectively. The graphene layer is configured to receive a DC bias voltage between the electrical contacts. Photoelectric components (716,718,720) are bonded to the graphene layer to supply a pulsed burst of electrons to the graphene layer in response to light shining upon the photoelectric components. USE - Solid-state, nanoscale emitter for various applications. Uses include but are not limited to applications related to ultra-high speed computers, high precision scanners, radars, radio frequency (RF) detectors, antennas, pulse generators, scanning devices, or applications requiring an emitter for imaging through opaque objects without the use of ionizing radiation. ADVANTAGE - The emitter can operate as a precise (output signal frequency regulated) and stable (output signal waveform regulated) gigahertz and/or terahertz radio frequency emitter. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a perspective view and a top view of the solid-state, nanoscale emitter.
