Abstract
We report on the room-temperature electrical rectification at 1.5 THz with novel non-linear asymmetric nanochannels. The planar layout facilitates the integration of microfabricated THz antennas without introducing parasitic elements, and enables ultra-high operation frequencies. This is the highest speed reported for nanorectifiers to date.
