Abstract :
In this paper, the theoretical and experimental research in the millimeter range have allowed to offer THz range semiconductor receiver, which uses the phenomenon of ambipolar diffusion in a thin layer of a semiconductor. For the optimal performance of the proposed receiver it is required to use a special device for signal displacement and pick up from the sensing element, as well as cryogenic device for setup and holding required temperature. THz rage laser with a wavelength λ= 190 and 337 microns is used as radiation source.
