Abstract
Photoconductive antenna THz detectors based on highly absorbing LT-GaAs metasurfaces enable high sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio (> 106) at optical gate powers as low as 5 μW. By investigating the dependence of detector performance on optical gate power, we compare several metasurface detectors with standard PCAs and develop a general model for quantifying the sensitivity and optimal gate power for detector operation. We also show that the LT-GaAs metasurface can even enhance sub bandgap absorption, enabling the use of these detectors in telecom wavelength systems.
