Schottky Receivers

Versatile equipment for terahertz sensing

  • Zero-bias Schottky diodes
  • Output signal proportional to incident terahertz power
  • Ideally suited for terahertz imaging
  • Compatible with emitters of TeraScan 780 and TeraScan 1550

Schottky diodes work as incoherent receivers (i.e., power detectors) of terahertz radiation. The output signal is phase-insensitive and does not depend on the terahertz path length or sample thickness. Terahertz imaging thus benefits from both speed and sensitivity of the Schottky receivers.
