We demonstrate the operation of a deterministic fluxon ratchet made of a stack of 30 intrinsic Josephson junctions strongly coupled with each other. The ratchet has the shape of a gear with 20 asymmetric teeth (periods). It produces a rectified voltage of about 100 µ V at a 12 GHz driving frequency. The effect of coupling between intrinsic junctions, has been studied within the framework of the 2D coupled sine-Gordon equations. We show that this type of device may provide record values of rectified voltage and others figures of merit.
