Abstract: It is reported that terahertz radiation from 0.69 THz to 2.54 THz has been sensitively detected in a device consisting of bundles of metallic carbon nanotubes, quasi-optically coupled through a lithographically fabricated antenna, and a silicon lens. The measured data are consistent with a bolometric process and show promise for operation above 4.2 K.<br />Comment: 9 pages
