Radiation from a single Josephson junction into free space due to Josephson oscillations
1Los Alamos National Laboratory, Los Alamos, New Mexico 87545, USA.
Abstract:
We consider electromagnetic emission from a Josephson junction (JJ) in a resistive state in an external magnetic field and derive the radiation power from the dielectric layer inside a JJ directly into outside dielectric media. Matching the electric and magnetic fields at the JJ edges, we find dynamic boundary conditions for the phase difference in JJ. We find that the fraction of the power transformed into radiation is determined by the dissipation inside the JJ. It tends to unity as dissipation vanishes independently of the mismatch of the junction and dielectric media impedances.

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the medium, μ.
