  • Abstract
    A detection scheme is proposed for millimeter and submillimeter waves. The scheme utilizes an appropriate system of quantum energy levels to down-convert the high-frequency radiation to a microwave frequency where very sensitive detectors are available. The principle of the scheme, the sensitivity and response time, and possible materials which may be employed are presented in this paper.
