FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to imaging terahertz (THz) radiation (ν=0.1-10 THz or λ=30-3000 mcm) and can be used to design devices for detecting and analysing terahertz radiation. The device for imaging terahertz radiation sources has a converter for converting terahertz radiation to infrared radiation, which consists of a layer of artificial metamaterial with resonant absorption of terahertz radiation, deposited on a solid-state substrate made of sapphire, placed between an input terahertz lens and an infrared camera lens situated on the side of the substrate. The converter is based on a gelatin matrix which contains metal nanoparticles and is provided with a cut-off filter placed in front of the matrix to allow filtration of thermal radiation of the terahertz radiation source with wavelength of not more than 30 mcm.
EFFECT: high noise-immunity of the design, low noise level and high sensitivity while simplifying the design of the imaging device.
