The article discusses the use of a heterostructure made of doped and undoped semiconductor layers to detect broadband terahertz radiation. By adjusting the thickness and doping levels of the layers, it is possible to detect pulses in the range of frequencies greater than 10^12 Hz with a spectral width on the order of the carrier frequency.
Bolometric detection of broadband terahertz radiation using a heterostructure consisting of a sequence of conducting and dielectric layers of a doped and undoped semiconductor (gallium arsenide, germanium) is discussed. This structure comprises a photonic crystal with allowed and forbidden (absorption and transmission) bands. By choosing the thicknesses of the conducting and nonconducting layers and the doping levels, it is possible to form spectral intervals of effective absorption, which allows one to detect pulses in the range of frequencies of >= 10(12) Hz with a spectral width on the order of the carrier frequency.
