We compare the measured broadband characteristics of the responsivity of asymmetric dual-grating-gate high-electron-mobility transistors in the terahertz range and theoretically predicted characteristics. Using the hydrodynamic model, we show that the plasmonic drag and ratchet effects originating from hydrodynamic nonlinearities of plasmons take place due to the asymmetric placement of the grating gates, and we derive the analytical expressions of DC photocurrents generated by these effects. We show that the photocurrent due to the plasmonic drag effect is dominant in the low-frequency range, whereas the photocurrent due to the plasmonic ratchet effect is dominant in the high-frequency range. We demonstrate that the measured broadband characteristic of the responsivity agrees well with the theory. |
