An authoritative and comprehensive guide to the devices and applications of Terahertz technology.

Terahertz (THz) technology relates to applications that span in frequency from a few hundred GHz to more than 1000 GHz. Fundamentals of Terahertz Devices and Applications offers a comprehensive review of the devices and applications of Terahertz technology. With contributions from a range of experts on the topic, this book contains in a single volume an inclusive review of THz devices for signal generation, detection and treatment.

Fundamentals of Terahertz Devices and Applications offers an exploration and addresses key categories and aspects of Terahertz Technology such as: sources, detectors, transmission, electronic considerations and applications, optical (photonic) considerations and applications. Worked examples―based on the contributors' extensive experience― highlight the chapter material presented. The text is designed for use by novices and professionals who want a better understanding of device operation and use, and is suitable for instructional purposes.

Understanding the fundamentals of Terahertz devices and applications requires thorough consideration of passive and active components together with system perspectives. In terms of passive components, antennas are a key element for signal handling, while signal generation and detection can be achieved by various means such as photoconductive (PC) devices, photomixers, plasmonic PC devices, and duantum cascade lasers (QCLs). In addition to these approaches are based on optical concepts, electronic approaches are also explored and implemented. These include advanced devices using two-dimensional (2D) layer technology, plasma field-effect transistor detectors, diode multipliers, and resonant-tunneling diodes (RTDs). THz systems combine such passive and active devices for responding to various application needs such as communication and sensing.

This important book:

Offers the most relevant up-to-date research information and insight into the future developments in the technology
Addresses a wide-range of categories and aspects of Terahertz technology
Includes material to support courses on Terahertz Technology and more
Contains illustrative worked examples

Written for researchers, students, and professional engineers, Fundamentals of Terahertz Devices and Applications offers an in-depth exploration of the topic that is designed for both novices and professionals and can be adopted for instructional purposes.
