This book covers the latest advances in the techniques employed to
manage the THz radiation and its potential uses. It has been
subdivided in three sections: THz Detectors, THz Sources, Systems
and Applications. These three sections will allow the reader to be
introduced in a logical way to the physics problems of sensing and
generation of the terahertz radiation, the implementation of these
devices into systems including other components and finally the
exploitation of the equipment for real applications in some
different field. All of the sections and chapters can be
individually addressed in order to deepen the understanding of a
single topic without the need to read the whole book. The THz
Detectors section will address the latest developments in detection
devices based on three different physical principles:
photodetection, thermal power detection, rectification. The THz
Sources section will describe three completely different generation
methods, operating in three separate scales: quantum cascade
lasers, free electron lasers and non-linear optical generation. The
Systems and Applications section will take care of introducing many
of the aspects needed to move from a device to an equipment
perspective: control of terahertz radiation, its use in imaging or
in spectroscopy, potential uses in security, and will address also
safety issues. The text book is at a level appropriate to graduate
level courses up to researchers in the field who require a
reference book covering all aspects of terahertz technology.
