Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for calibrating an absolute response rate of a terahertz quantum-well detector. The device at least comprises a driving power supply, a single-frequency laser source, an optical lens, a terahertz array detector, a terahertz power meter, a current amplifier and an oscilloscope. The calibrating method adopts the single-frequency laser source detected by using power as a calibration light source to acquire an absolute response rate of the detector in the laser frequency; and the method uses a normalization photocurrent spectrum of the detector to further calculate and acquire the absolute response rate of the detector in any position with a detectable frequency. According to the method, the cyclic output single-frequency laser source is directly used as the calibration light source; and the terahertz array detector and the power meter are directly used for measuring and acquiring an incident power of the calibrated detector, so that the influence caused due to background light and water vapor absorption in a conventional calibration method is greatly reduced; the complex calculation of various spectrum integrations is avoided; the whole calibration process is simple; small error is introduced; and the method is wide in applicability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of terahertz detectors, and relates to a method and a device for calibrating the absolute responsivity of a terahertz quantum well detector. Background technique [0002] Terahertz quantum well detector is a semiconductor detector with fast response speed, narrow response spectrum, small size and easy integration. It is a very important type of detector in terahertz application technology. This type of detector was successfully developed by Canadian scientists for the first time in 2004. It has been widely studied due to its simple material structure and high responsivity. Currently, the detectable frequency range of the device mainly covers the 2-7THz frequency band. Laser sources in the 2-7THz frequency band mainly include terahertz quantum cascade lasers and carbon dioxide gas lasers. Due to their long cavity lengths, carbon dioxide lasers produce lasers with good single-frequency performance and high bea...
