Abstract
This invention teaches how to fabricate a new type of full-spectra wavelength detector and spectrum analyzer in the form of antennas that make use of the wave properties of light. The detector's frequency detection range is controlled through the fabrication process. By miniaturizing the antenna detectors to the nanometer range and arranging them in an array a unique, full-spectrum imaging sensor is created.
