• junctions; numerical modelling; terahertz sources; Introduction Tunable, monochromatic, continuous-wave (CW), compact, and power-efficient terahertz (THz) sources of electromagnetic waves (EMW) are required for a broad variety of applications [1]. However, the key obstacle, colloquially known as “the THz

• sources. In this work we analyze thermal and radiative properties of such devices based on mesa structures of a layered high-temperature superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ. Two types of devices are considered containing either a conventional large single crystal or a whisker. We perform numerical simulations
