Abstract (en)
[origin: FR2884916A1] The detector has a dielectric substrate (SB) on which a detection unit (39a) is provided to generate an electrical signal from the energy of received photons. A coupling unit, formed on the substrate, is distinct from the unit (39a) that is made of a superconductor material. The coupling unit has a metallic guide (G) to generate a surface plasmon by an interaction with the photons and to guide the plasmon until the unit (39a) which absorbs the energy of the plasmon. The unit (39a) forms a thin and short strip.
