Report on the demodulation specifications

This report will give an account of the experimental and theoretical work during the first 3 project years to demonstrate the feasibility of spin-based heterostructures as wide-band THz receivers.The objectives are to demonstrate demodulation of any modulated THz signal using spin physics. The Report will follow the structure of the detectors demonstrated in T2.1-3 and for each of them investigate bandwidth, responsivity, noise characteristics (NEP, noise figure, …), etc. An outlook will be presented to the use of the spin technology in THz links.
