  • Capacitive detector of electromagnetic waves
    Patent number: 5086327
    Abstract: A capacitive detector of electromagnetic waves, comprises three electron levels, wherein an internal barrier prevents a strong coupling between two levels of two neighboring wells. During an irradiation, the electrons are excited from a first level to a second level. The electrons then relax towards a third level until they relax, by tunnel effect, towards the first level. During the transition from the first level towards the third level, a dipole is created. This dipole can be detected by a detector, through the measurement of a potential difference at the terminals of the device.
