Abstract
Anewmicro-opticalmethodforTerahertzradiationmeasurementwaspresented,whichwas basedonopticalleverandthermalradiationdetection.Abi-materialmicrocantileverwasusedtogenerate micro-deformationcausedbyTerahertzradiantthermaleffect,andthemicro-deformationwasmeasuredby amultiplereflectionopticallevercomposedofapairofplanemirrors.ThenradiationpowerofTerahertz waveswereobtained.Micro-displacementtheoreticalresolutionofthismultiplereflectionopticallever methodcouldbelessthan1nmandameasuringsystemwassetuptoverifyit.Experimentsshowthat theoreticalresolutionofthistestsystemislessthan4nmanditsactualresolutionwaslessthan10nm. DesignsandparametersofaTerahertzdetectorbasedonthismethodweregiven.Thisapproachhadmany advantagessuchasanti-airturbulence,anti-beamcross-talk,andworkingatroomtemperature.Sothisnew methodwassuitableforrealizingminiaturizedTerahertzdetectorswiththefeaturesofuncooled,real-time, low-cost,anditwasalsoappropriateformanufacturingarraydetectorsforimagingdetection.
