Abstract

Abstract

In this paper, we present the microwave resonator photoconductor (MRPC), a photoconductive detector architecture which couples an active mid-infrared pixel to a Ku band microwave resonator. We compare the room temperature sensitivity of our MRPC to a standard photoconductor, and discuss the potential advantages.
