Abstract :
We investigate the feasibility of coplanar striplines (CPS) in conjunction with infrared (IR) detectors. Since attenuation and dispersion issues dominate at IR, the analytical formulas for transmission line parameters valid below a few hundred GHz are not applicable at IR. Therefore, we perform numerical modeling to determine these parameters at 28.3 THz. Comparison of modeling with measured voltage response is presented.
