Abstract
THz polarimetry is an emerging area that has applications in materials imaging and spectroscopy. Thus, there is a growing need for compact sensors with the ability to record complete polarization information from few-cycles pulses of THz radiation. We have exploited the unique geomatical and electrical properties of semiconductor nanowires to develop monolithic polarization-resolving THz sensors. We demonstrate these sensors in a range of applications from the analysis of polarization-manipulating metamaterials to semiconductor characterization and THz imaging. Our nanowire platform also shows promise for other THz photonic devices.
