Infrared shack-hartmann wavefront sensor based on cavity-coupled nanoantennas

Abstract

An illustrative apparatus includes a first antenna suspended over a cavity at a first position and a first thermocouple connected to the first antenna. The first thermocouple supports the first antenna over the cavity and extends from the first antenna to a first location on an edge of the cavity. The apparatus further includes a second antenna suspended over the cavity at a second position different from the first position and a second thermocouple connected to the second antenna. The second thermocouple supports the second antenna over the cavity and extends from the second antenna to a second location on the edge of the cavity different than the first location.
