Abstract

See full text

A terahertz detection assembly generally has a light generating apparatus configured to generate at least one illuminating light pattern and a substrate member positioned proximate to the light generating apparatus. The substrate member includes a semiconductive portion configured to receive at least a portion of the illuminating light pattern such that a conductive path is defined within the semiconductive portion. At least one waveguide is coupled to the semiconductive portion such that the waveguide is adjacent to the conductive path. The waveguide is configured to receive at least a portion of the illuminating light pattern such that the pattern is moving along the waveguide. The waveguide is further configured to receive a plurality of terahertz electromagnetic waves that are transmitted within the waveguide in the same direction as the motion of the illuminating light pattern to facilitate the detection and characterization of the terahertz electromagnetic waves.
