Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhanced THz radiation coupling to molecules, includes the steps of depositing a test material near the discontinuity edges of a slotted member, and enhancing the THz radiation by transmitting THz radiation through the slots. The molecules of the test material are illuminated by the enhanced THz radiation that has been transmitted through the slots, thereby producing an increased coupling of EM radiation in the THz spectral range to said material. The molecules can be bio-molecules, explosive materials, or species of organisms. The slotted member can be a semiconductor film, a metallic film, in particular InSb, or layers thereof. THz detectors sense near field THz radiation that has been transmitted through said slots and the test material.

Abstract: In a state that the body portion 4 is regulated by inner wall planes 27, 29, 28 of the package 3 so as not to move in parallel or perpendicularly with respect to the rear plane 4b, the spectroscopic module is directly supported by the package 3, thereby when the spectrometer is downsized, the spectroscopic module 2 can be supported securely and also there is provided securely a positional accuracy between the light incident opening 22a of the package 3, the spectroscopic portion 6 of the spectroscopic module 2 and the light detecting element 7. Further, the lead 23 is buried into the package 3 to give derivation and support by the lead deriving portion 26, thereby the lead deriving portion 26 in itself of the package 3 is allowed to act as a base when wire bonding is conducted to electrically connect the lead 23 with the light detecting element 7, thus preventing breakage and deviation of the spectroscopic module 2.

Abstract: Input light, such as from an optical sensor or stimulus-wavelength converter, includes one or more light or dark sub-bands. The input light is transmitted, such as through a transmissive layer or transmission component, to obtain effects due to transmission with lateral variation. A detector can, for example, obtain spectral information or other photon energy information about the sub-bands due to lateral variation. For each light or dark sub-band, a transmission component can, for example, provide a respective light or dark spot, and spot position can be used to obtain spectral information such as absolute wavelength or wavelength change. A photosensing component can sense or detect transmitted light or output photons, such as with a photosensor array or a position-sensitive detector. Circuitry can use photosensed quantities to obtain, e.g. a differential signal or information about time of wavelength change.
