Alternatively, we have developed the so-called grating-gate transistors [12–17] as a type of plasmonic THz detectors. The grating-gate structure serves as a deep-subwavelength coupler that enables direct, efficient, broadband conversion from the incident THz waves to the 2D plasmons, rather than a coupling through an integrated antenna as in the single-gate transistors.
