Abstract
In this chapter, we emphasize that plasmon devices based on 2DEG materials ways become more and more important for terahertz applications. The main results and the conclusions are listed for non-resonant self-mixing detection of terahertz electromagnetic wave. The future trends are developing heterodyne plasmon detectors and resonant plasmon detectors are discussed. Questions concerning the ultimate limit in plasmon detection are raised for further studies.
