A new micro-optical method for Terahertz radiation measurement was presented, which was based on optical lever and thermal radiation detection. A bi-material micro cantilever was used to generate micro-deformation caused by Terahertz radiant thermal effect, and the micro-deformation was measured by a multiple reflection optical lever composed of a pair of plane mirrors. Then radiation power of Terahertz waves were obtained. Micro-displacement theoretical resolution of this multiple reflection optical lever method could be less than 1 nm and a measuring system was set up to verify it. Experiments show that theoretical resolution of this test system is less than 4 nm and its actual resolution was less than 10 nm. Designs and parameters of a Terahertz detector based on this method were given. This approach had many advantages such as anti-air turbulence, anti-beam cross-talk, and working at room temperature. So this new method was suitable for realizing miniaturized Terahertz detectors with the features of uncooled, real-time, low-cost, and it was also appropriate for manufacturing array detectors for imaging detection.
