Field effect transistor as detector of THz radiation helicity
Résumé
We use two antenna model to develop a theory of the recently observed helicity-sensitive detection of terahertz radiation by FETs. The effect is due to the mixing of the ac signals produced in the channel by the two antennas. We obtain the helicity-dependent part of the photoresponse and its dependence on the antenna impedance, gate length, and gate voltage. © (2013) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
