Abstract :
Terahertz sources and receivers with exceptional bandwidth, power and efficiency have been demonstrated. These components use integrated diode circuits (no whiskers or mechanical tuners) and are therefore very compact and reliable, thus facilitating a host of new applications in science, medicine and defense.
