Abstract :
The frequency characteristics of commercially available pyro-electric detectors have been compared in the range from 0.9 to 2.8 THz by using an intense continuously-tunable terahertz (THz)-wave source. We have found that the THz-wave interference inside the detector has considerable effect on the performance.
