Physics of plasma oscillations and basic principles of plasmonic detection of terahertz radiation in FET structures with two-dimensional electron channels are discussed. Plasmonic devices are practically attractive because they are extremely fast and electrically tunable through the entire terahertz frequency band by changing electric potentials at metal contacts of the device.

Keywords:
two-dimensional electron gas, plasmons, terahertz radiation, detection, generation, field-effect transistor.
