What is gunn oscillation?

Gunn oscillators are widely used in the microwave to Terahertz region.

This uses a metallic coaxial cavity (in effect, a short length of co-axial cable) to provide the resonant effect which has been modelled earlier as an LC circuit. Although it looks very different, the oscillator shares with a laser the use of a cavity. The size of this cavity determines the time/phase delay which sets the resonant frequency. In this case, each diode induced fluctuation travels up the cavity and reflected from the far end, returning to the diode after a time
