Abstract :
Physics of plasma oscillations and basic principles of plasmonic detection of THz radiation in FET structures with 2D electron channels are discussed. Plasmonic devices are practically attractive because they are extremely fast and electrically tunable through the entire THz frequency band by changing electric potentials at metal contacts of the device.
