Abstract
A detector for terahertz electromagnetic waves includes a terahertz optomechanical transducer to transform an incident electromagnetic wave, having a terahertz frequency within a terahertz frequency band, into a measurable mechanical response; and a detection device for detecting an output signal. The terahertz optomechanical transducer includes a first element and an opposite element forming with the first element a capacitive gap.
