A focal plane array electromagnetic radiation detector includes an array
of micro-electromagnetic resonant detector cells. Each
micro-electromagnetic resonant detector cell may include an ultra-small
resonant structure for receiving an electromagnetic wave and adapted to
angularly modulate a charged particle beam in response to receiving an
electromagnetic wave. Each micro-electromagnetic detector cell may
include a detector portion that measures the angular modulation of the
charged particle beam. The ultra-small resonant structure is designed to
angularly modulate the charged particle beam according to a
characteristic of the received electromagnetic wave.
