AXIAL DETECTORS, A NOVEL METHOD FOR THE DETECTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION AT A BROAD RANGE OF WAVELENGTHS

Abstract: an electromagnetic radiation detector according to the present invention comprises a polarization control element (pce) configured to receive incident radiation and having a substrate with a shape to polarize said incident radiation into a cylindrical vector beam (cvb), and a rectifying element (re) configured to receive the cvb and generate a signal representing information of the incident radiation. the re may include at least one toroid pair having a high conductivity toroid and a low conductivity toroid concentric with the high conductivity toroid, where each toroid pair, in response to receiving the cvb, creates a hall voltage used to generate said signal representing information of the incident radiation.
