Abstract

We present an efficient terahertz (THz) detector based on an optically thin hybrid cavity. We use experimental and numerical methods to design efficient detectors, finding a hybrid cavity structure with a photoconductive (PC) layer as thin as 50 nm which absorbs almost 80% of light at the operation wavelength. These optically thin detectors are well suited to near-field microscopy and terahertz component integration.
