Abstract:
A detector for terahertz electromagnetic waves includes a terahertz optomechanical transducer to transform an incident electromagnetic wave, having a terahertz frequency within a terahertz frequency band, into a measurable mechanical response; and a detection device for detecting an output signal. The terahertz optomechanical transducer includes a first element and an opposite element forming with the first element a capacitive gap.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for detecting terahertz electromagnetic waves with a detector according to  claim 1 , comprising:\n transforming an incident electromagnetic wave having a terahertz frequency within a terahertz frequency band of use, into a measurable mechanical response, with a terahertz optomechanical transducer configured by geometric characteristics and dimensions to collect the incident electromagnetic wave, the transducer having a first element and an opposite element forming with the first element a capacitive gap, the first element and the opposite element each comprising a support layer and an electrically conductive layer which is a metal pattern; detecting an output signal representative of said mechanical response by the detection device of the detector, the amplitude of the output signal being proportional to the intensity of said incident electromagnetic wave, wherein transforming the incident electromagnetic wave into a measurable mechanical response comprises: collecting the incident electromagnetic wave by the terahertz optomechanical transducer of the detector; wherein the terahertz frequency of the incident electromagnetic wave corresponds to the electromagnetic resonance frequency of the terahertz electromagnetic resonator or is in a response bandwidth of the terahertz electromagnetic resonator, producing a mechanical response of the first element by action of a force stemming from an electric field generated by interaction of said electromagnetic wave on electric charges present in said terahertz electromagnetic resonator, wherein said electric field is generated between a first electric pole induced in said first element, by first electric charges having a first electrical sign and a second electric pole induced in said opposite element, by second electric charges having a second electrical sign opposite to the first electrical sign, and wherein the first electric charges and the second electric charges alternate in signs between the first and the second electric poles in time at the terahertz frequency of the incident electromagnetic wave, and wherein the mechanical resonance frequency of the first element is lower than the electromagnetic resonance frequency of the terahertz electromagnetic resonator.
