The feasibility of detection of THz waves＇ frequency and intensity by solid Fizeau interferometer （THz-waves＇ range of 1 - 3 THz） has been studied. By optimization of other parameters like thickness of Fizeau film, refractive index, material of Fizeau film, we can proceed towards the design of Fizeau interferometer for required research plans as it is a simple and inexpensive interferometer.展开更多
