A Josephson plasma emitter using the copper oxide high-temperature superconductor Bi2212 emits terahertz waves through the synchronization of intrinsic Josephson junctions. In frequency modulation achieved by superimposing a high-frequency signal on the bias voltage, the spectrum becomes asymmetric when the center frequency is close to the lower limit of the oscillation region; however, as the modulation frequency increases, the signal returns to within the region before the synchronization relaxation is complete, causing the spectrum to approach symmetry. This study reports the results of a quantitative evaluation of the synchronization relaxation time using this modulation frequency dependence.
