Terahertz Photonics: Optoelectronic Techniques for Generation and Detection of Terahertz Waves

Abstract

Optoelectronic techniques for generation and detection of terahertz (THz) signals have been reviewed. The operation principles of THz photomixer sources and THz parametric sources have been studied and recent developments in these areas have been presented. The performances of developed THz optoelectronic sources have been discussed and compared.
