Slot-Antenna Coupled Microbolometer Arrays for THz Radiation

Abstract

New type of slot antenna coupled microbolometer arrays were fabricated, and the receiving properties for 2.5THz-CH3OH laser radiation were investigated at room temperature. The detected voltage of the device increased in proportion to the number of slots, but the receiving pattern was independent of the number of slots when the slots in the device were arranged with a space of 0.5 lamba(d)(lamba(d): dielectric wavelength).
