Abstract

Parametric effects including amplification in a singly degenerate mode have been observed in Josephson tunnel junctions at dc bias points on rf-induced steps. Net gain at 9 GHz was achieved with a bias on the fundamental 18-GHz step and subharmonic self-oscillations were seen on 18 and 70-GHz rf-induced steps even at voltages approaching the energy gap. A qualitative explanation of the results is presented. Journal of Applied Physics is copyrighted by The American Institute of Physics.
