Toward Terahertz Detectors on a Single, Conventional Chip

Sensors and detectors that would work in the terahertz range of the electromagnetic spectrum promise a range of tantalizing properties, from precise identification of concealed weapons to the ability to distinguish between different tissue types for disease screening. But because signals in the terahertz range have traditionally been incompatible with conventional microelectronics, this potential has been slow to realize.
