Abstract

We report on room-temperature plasmonic detection of the thermal emission from a black body in the terahertz and mid-infrared domains by dual-grating-gate InAlAs/InGaAs/InP high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). In such detectors, the asymmetric grating gate of a large area acts as an effective antenna that improves the performance in the two spectral domains.
