Comparison between Up-Conversion Detection in Glow-Discharge Detectors and the Schottky Diode for MMW/THz High-Power Single Pulse

Generally, glow-discharge detectors (GDD), acting on miniature neon indicator lamps, and Schottky diode serve as efficient, fast, room-temperature millimeter wave (MMW)/THz detectors. Previous studies GDD implemented a repetition of terahertz sources, low-power radiation, showed good results in terms detection, responsivity, noise-equivalent power. This paper presents comparison between detector based lamp for the detection high-power single pulse. With this comparison, we touch upon two methods, visual light emitting from electrical current detector. Results better response time sensitivity method compared to with diode.
