Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz substance detection, in particular to a high-resolution broadband terahertz detector based on a pixilated structure and a detection method.
Background
The terahertz wave is positioned between a millimeter wave band and an infrared wave band, and has the characteristics of photonics and electronics. Terahertz waves have the characteristics of non-ionization, no damage, high penetration, high resolution, spectral fingerprints and the like, so that the terahertz waves become potential tools in the field of biomedicine. Recently, due to the rapid development of terahertz fingerprint detection of biochemical analytes, terahertz sensing has become a promising technology in biomedical research and substance detection. However, due to the lack of a terahertz source with high radiation intensity and the mismatch between the wavelength of the terahertz wave and the size of the analyte, the wide application of terahertz in substance detection is seriously affected. In carrying out the present invention, the applicant has found that: the micro-nano photonics breaks the limitation by utilizing the strong near-field enhancement effect of a sub-wavelength resonance structure, the sub-wavelength resonance structure can control the polarization, the phase, the amplitude and the like of light, and can be used for light emission, detection, modulation, control and amplification of micro-nano scale; near-field enhancement of the optical field at the microstructure can promote interaction of light with matter; the resonance peak position of the structure is overlapped with the characteristic fingerprint spectrum of the substance to be analyzed by designing and adjusting the structural parameters, so that the near field enhancement is utilized to qualitatively identify the analyte, but the requirements of the method on the structural design and the experimental operation precision are very strict.
The existing design and experimental scheme has the following problems: firstly, detecting by designing a single microstructure to overlap the resonance peak position thereof with a single fingerprint of an analyte; the response of the microstructure is designed according to a certain characteristic fingerprint spectrum known by an analyte, so that the wide application of the detector in practice is severely limited; the resonance response of the microstructure has strong dependency on the refractive index change of the environment medium, so that the thickness and the density of an analyte can directly influence the response of the microstructure, and the resonance peak position and the fingerprint spectrum are overlapped very difficultly in experimental operation; in addition, because the single peak position is used for detection, the method can be only used for detecting one target object; if more substances are required to be detected, the structural parameters of the sensor can be changed, more sensors are processed, and therefore the efficiency is low; secondly, the Hatice Altug topic group provides an expansion method for the sensing detection of the wide-spectrum characteristic absorption fingerprint spectrum, and can be more widely applied to complex biological tests; however, because the spectrum and the spatial information present a one-to-one correspondence relationship, when the spectrum information to be measured is wide, the size of the sensor is inevitably large, which is not beneficial to the design and research of flexible, convenient, small-sized and high-integration devices; thirdly, the broadband spectrum obtained by tuning the structural parameters has lower resolution, which seriously affects the accurate measurement of the device on the characteristic absorption peak of the analyte.
