Experimental date and calculated one
Good agreement between experimental data and calculated one with τd=10fs.
Noise level
This results indicates the feasibility of ultrabroadband detection over 130 THz using the PC antenna if broader and stronger THz radiation obtained.
By using 5fs pulse laser, the more sensitive and broadband detection is expected with the PC antenna.

Summary
• By using the PC antenna for detection, spectrum response from 0.1 to 100 THz except around 8 THz was obtained using a combination of PC antenna emitter and a GaSe crystal.
• The sensitivity of the PC antenna from a model calculation shows that the PC antenna is capable of detecting ultrabroadband THz radiation beyond 100 THz with an advanced setup.
