He was doing THz stuff with some other sort of rectifying junction. I think schottkies may be too slow for optical wavelengths.
I've seen papers on schottky-based signal samplers that worked to 250, or maybe 500 GHz.

Oh, that's only 0.5THz? How slow... :-)
Now, back to my fast 20kHz sensor design.

Oh, goodle thz schottky
They do work up there.

Somebody did a 70 GS/s 'Scope with them over 25 years ago. It required liquid Helium for the JJ. I think is was 6 bits and 4k sample depth. But that is all i still remember.

That was Hypres, a 70 GHz analog bandwidth equivalent-time sampler. The scope wasn't very practical and they discontinued it. Tek and HP did the same at room temperature. Their web site is down, so maybe they are gone.
