Abstract :
Strong THz sources, good power meters and real-time THz cameras are being developed and produced. Authors make discussions on necessity of standardization for power measurements, non-uniformity correction and sensitivity measurements, using these components. For example, it is found that NEP (Noise Equivalent Power) values can change with measurement methods.
