Figure 2. Detection of 3.4 THz radiation by near-field probes with BP and NW detectors.

Figure 2

(a) DC source-drain current iSD (photo-current mode) and source-drain voltage ΔuSD (photovoltaic mode) in 20 × 20 μm2 aperture probes as functions of the total power from the 3.4 THz QCL focused on the probe. (b) The inset shows a THz image of the focused QCL beam, detected by the NW-detector in (a). The main panel shows the THz beam intensity profile (red line) along the vertical axis measured by the NW-based detector with a 20 μm input aperture. The dashed black line shows a Gaussian fit ITHz = I0exp(−(y2/(2r2)), where r = 83.5 μm.
