THz Imaging and Wireless Communication Using Nanotransistor Based Detectors: From Basic Physics to First Real World Applications
Résumé
In this paper, a
n overview of main results concerning THz detection by nanom
eter field effect transistors (
FETs)
and
heteroju
ncti
on based transistors (HBTs)
is presented. D
ifferent GaInAs/InP and GaN/AlGaN
nanometer
field effect transistors based detectors are presented
. We present also
first Silicon C
-MOS transistors based
integrated circuits for wireless communication in sub
-THz r
ange.
Special attention is given to transistors based
focal plane arrays. We show, how these arrays, together with in purpose developed diffractive 3D printed optics
lead to construction of the demonstrators of safety and
industrial quality control scanner
