Abstract
A 50-fold increase in responsivity of plasmon resonant detectors is achieved by thermally isolating the detector on a thin membrane. Terahertz radiation is resonantly absorbed in the grating-gated channel while temperature modulation is sensed by the resistance of a narrow center region biased to pinch off. Thermal isolation enhances the temperature rise on absorption. Detectors with and without the additional thermal isolation demonstrate a linear power dependence.
