Compact and ultra-efficient broadband plasmonic terahertz field detector

Compact and ultra-efficient broadband plasmonic terahertz field detector

Most efficient terahertz detection schemes rely on complex free space optics and require high-power lasers. Here, the authors report an integrated plasmonic terahertz detector on a silicon photonics platform, with 2.5 THz bandwidth and a 65 dB dynamical range operating at an optical power of only 63...
