This review describes bolometric detectors for infrared and millimeter waves. The
introduction sketches the history of modern bolometers, indicates how they fit into the more …

This review presents an overview of the thermal properties of mesoscopic structures. The
discussion is based on the concept of electron energy distribution, and, in particular, on …

Nanoantennas for visible and infrared radiation can strongly enhance the interaction of light
with nanoscale matter by their ability to efficiently link propagating and spatially localized …

Infrared photodetectors (IRPDs) have become important devices in various applications
such as night vision, military missile tracking, medical imaging, industry defect imaging …

The coupling between light and collective oscillations of free carriers at metallic surfaces
and nanostructures is at the origin of one of the main fields of nanophotonics: plasmonics …

Drawing inspiration from radio-frequency technologies, we propose a realization of nano-
scale optical dielectric resonator antennas (DRAs) functioning in their fundamental mode …

We present a new device concept for a mixer element for THz frequencies. This uses a
superconducting transition‐edge microbridge biased at the center of its superconducting …

III–V semiconductor mid-infrared photodetectors based on intersubband transitions hold
great potential for ultra-high-speed operation up to several hundreds of GHz. In this work we …

We present measurements on a novel power detector which can be used as an
ultrasensitive detector of millimeter and submillimeter radiation. The absorbing element …

We report on the realization and the experimental study of thin-film Ni–NiO–Ni diodes with
integrated infrared antennas. These diodes are applied as detectors and mixers of 28-THz …
