Abstract

Optimization routes to optimize the operation of InGaAs bow-tie diodes were demonstrated using simulations based on 3D finite-difference time-domain method. Calculations of the electromagnetic field amplitude distribution in a detector plane were performed. Three types of designs – bow-tie diode itself, log-periodic antenna and log-periodic antenna coupled with the bow-tie diode were analyzed; it was determined that frequency properties of such antennacoupled device can be tuned via variation of antenna shape and size. Multi-pixel InGaAs bow-tie diodes arrays of different designs – narrow band and broadband operation – were designed and fabricated. They were demonstrated to be well suited for continuous wave room temperature spectroscopic terahertz imaging at 0.58 THz and at 1.63 THz.
