Efficient photoconductive terahertz detection through photon trapping in plasmonic nanocavities

We present a photoconductive terahertz detector that employs a plasmonic nanocavity to offer high-sensitivity and broadband operation when used in a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system even at very low optical pump power levels. By employing a plasmonic nanocavity, all of the photocarriers are...
