Abstract(in English) In order to investigate Terahertz radiation from Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_<8+x> intrinsic Josephson Junctions under a bias current flow, we have performed a numerical simulation of radiation properties of junction stacks with two different sizes; a number of junctions and junction length. For the three junction stack with its length of 0.026λ_c,λ_c being the c-axis magnetic penetration depth, distinct voltage jumps indicating in-phase and out-of-phase cavity resonance of the Josephson plasma occurred in the return curve of an I-V characteristic, and a radiation power of emitting waves reached the maximum in a bias region corresponding to the in-phase resonance. Moreover, the emitting waves generated by the in-phase resonance exhibited monochromatic spectra, compared with those generated by the out-of-phase resonance. On the other hand, for the 50-junction stack with 0.321λ_c, the radiation power was significantly enhanced by the in-phase resonance, while the increase in power suppressed in bias regions corresponding to the out-of-phase resonances with the low plasma-velocity modes. The maximum power was approximately 150 higher than that of the three junction stack. These facts are useful for designing a Terahertz oscillator using the intrinsic Josephson junctions.
