  • Abstract
    A new non-disturbing optically interrogated silicon sensor for measuring electromagnetic power in the microwave and millimetre-wave range is presented. A prototype was realised and then tested in the microwave frequency range 2.5-18 GHz. A minimum detectable electromagnetic power density of ~1.4 mW/cm2 was measured. Higher performances are expected, according to simulations, in optimised devices
