Abstract

Kinetic Inductance Detectors are widely accepted as receivers for Terahertz imaging. They are realized on superconductors and, exploiting the Cooper-pairs breaking by photons, they are able to sense incoming Terahertz radiation. In this paper we investigate the impact that the related absorption mechanism has on the angular dependence of the receiving system.
