TERAHERTZ LIGHT GENERATOR AND TERAHERTZ LIGHT DETECTOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a terahertz light generator and a terahertz light detector which are capable of protecting a terahertz light generating element or a terahertz light detecting element against damage in an assembly operation. SOLUTION: The terahertz light detector is equipped with a terahertz light detecting element 1 which is provided with a board and an optical switching element and a board holding member 8. The board holding member 8 holds the board of the terahertz light detecting element 1 in its surface direction, but not in the direction perpendicular to its surface direction. A terahertz light condensing lens 2 is arranged on the one surface of the board of the terahertz light detecting element 1. The board of the terahertz light detecting element 1 is pressed against the terahertz light condensing lens 2 with a pressing member 13. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI
