1. A detector for radiation, comprising:

  • a periodic pattern of photoconductive or photovoltaic, bandgap detector elements spaced apart at a period which is equal to or less than the wavelength of said radiation, said pattern of detector elements having a given radiation impedance,substructure means for supporting said detector elements and for providing impedance matching between the radiation impedance of said pattern of detector elements and free space radiation impedance, andmeans for electrically connecting said detector elements for producing a detection signal when said detector is exposed to said radiation.
