Abstract
Receiving antenna () for terahertz radiation (), comprising an antenna conductor () and a first photoconductor () connected to the antenna conductor () and activatable by light (), the first photoconductor () allowing, in an activated state, an antenna current () flowing through the antenna conductor () and the first photoconductor (), characterized in that the receiving antenna () comprises at least one second photoconductor () connected to the antenna conductor () and activatable by light (), the second photoconductor connected in parallel with the first photoconductor () and, in an activated state, allowing an antenna current () flowing through the antenna conductor () and the second photoconductor (), wherein at least one respective high-pass filter () is connected between each of the photoconductors () and the antenna conductor (). The invention further relates to a receiver for terahertz radiation (), a terahertz system, and a method for generating and detecting terahertz radiation () using such a terahertz system.
