Abstract
We show that a Fabry-Perot-like tunneling cantilever consisting of two para llel thin metallic cantilevers joined at their free ends is able to sense t he power of an incoming terahertz (THz) field. An array of such microstruct ures, with linearly varying distances between the two parallel cantilevers, can measure simultaneously the power and frequency of the THz field in the bandwidth 1.2-58 THz.
