We report the measured performance characteristics of a broadband (0.2 – 10 THz) bolometer instrument based on thin film superconducting technology. The technology is designed for operation both in liquid helium cryostats but also in an electrical cooling platform. We report a number of significant advantages that accrue to superconducting technology compared to semiconductor devices. Single pixel...
VOx thin films were fabricated on fused quartz substrates by metal-organic decomposition. In R-T characteristics, VOx films indicated an abrupt phase transition around 52°C with a resistivity change of 3–4 orders and temperature coefficient of resistance of 4.4–4.8 %/K at 300 K.
Frequency up-conversion has been proved to be very effective in THz generation. Reverse physical process can serve THz detection. Based on our in-house characterization of DAST crystal and previous intense studies of monochromatic THz generation, we propose an ultra-wideband THz detection approach by using frequency up-conversion technique, which may work from around 2 THz, up to 28 THz at room temperature,...
Test chips with Si MOSFETs integrating bow tie antennas are investigated to check the polarization and frequency dependence of THz sensitivity. The azimuthal angle corresponding to the maximum sensitivity changes with the pixel position on the chip. This means that the surrounding pixels affect the bow tie radiation pattern and possibly contribute to the antenna coupling. The frequency dependence...
We report on uncooled antenna-coupled thermoelements with a fast response time operating at 0.812 THz. Each sensor pixel consists of 8 thermocouples in series. As thermoelectric structure, a BiSb/Sb freestanding air-bridge is used, fabricated by micromachining. A thermal time constant as low as 22 µs and a NEP of 130 pW/Hz0.5 at 1 kHz modulation frequency is measured in air at room temperature. The...
