Far Infrared and THz Detectors: Principles of Operation and Figures of Merit

摘要

In this paper we discuss characteristics of detectors and their experimental applications in the Far Infared (FIR) and lower THz spectral range: 50-3000 GHz (6mm-100 μm), with special attention to Plasma Diagnostics, THz- TDS and Free Electron Lasers (FEL). The International System of Units (SI) will be used throughout [1].
