A light polarization angle-sensitive photoconductive detector for terahertz time-domain spectroscopy is computer-modeled, microfabricated, and tested. The experimental results show good agreement with the linear angular response for an ideal detector. The detector’s frequency, angular, and crosstalk responses are discussed in the context of theoretical and experimental considerations.
