Abstract
An integrated continuous-wave (CW) terahertz biosensor is proposed based on an edge-coupled terahertz photomixer source with guided-wave optical excitation scheme. In this device, two laser beams are guided inside an optical dielectric waveguide structure and being gradually absorbed by an overlying ultra-fast photoabsorbing layer, wherein a terahertz signal is generated due to photomixing phenomenon. The generated THz signal is guided by a coplanar-stripline (CPS) and is coupled to an integrated CPS resonator, which acts as a sample carrier and transducer. After interaction by bio-sample, terahertz wave is guided by a CPS line to a wide-band antenna and is detected by a THz power detector. Our performance analysis for the proposed CW terahertz biosensor supports the feasibility of the whole idea very well. The proposed device is attractive for system-on-a-chip terahertz sensors and spectrometers.
