摘要: A rectifier is provided for converting an oscillating electromagnetic field into a direct current and comprises electrically conductive antenna layer configured to absorb radiation, mirror provide charge of the layer, insulating tunnel barrier positioned between electronic circuit connected layer. The employs metamaterial configuration room temperature rectification radiation in regions spectrum comprising MWIR LWIR regions. Methods use rectifying detecting are described.
