Abstract

A two-dimensional terahertz radiation detector includes a spectral conversion element, an array of microlenses, and a matrix image sensor. Such a detector can be particularly compact, light, and inexpensive. For some embodiments, it can be used to produce multispectral images of an external scene, from terahertz radiation that originates from the scene.
