Abstract

This paper provides a brief description individual elements that can be included in the Solntse–Terahertz scientific apparatus that was designed for the first time to carry out an extra-atmospheric experiment onboard the International Space Station. Its purpose is to measure terahertz electromagnetic radiation both from the quiet Sun and during active processes on the Sun (solar flares, coronal mass ejections, etc.), which is necessary to establish the physical nature of solar activity and solar flares. The possibility is discussed of using optoacoustic converters (Golay cells) as receivers of terahertz radiation, the sensitivity, stability, and response time of which were determined in the course of preliminary laboratory studies under terrestrial conditions.

Solntse-Terahertz科学仪器的太赫兹辐射探测器的特性研究

摘要

本文简要介绍了可以包含在Solntse-Terahertz科学仪器中的各个元素，该仪器是首次设计用于在国际空间站上进行大气外实验的。其目的是测量来自安静太阳和在太阳活动过程中（太阳耀斑，日冕物质抛射等）的太赫兹电磁辐射，这对于确定太阳活动和太阳耀斑的物理性质是必需的。讨论了使用光声转换器（Golay细胞）作为太赫兹辐射的接收器的可能性，其灵敏度，稳定性和响应时间是在地面条件下的初步实验室研究过程中确定的。
