New Directions in Terahertz Technology

A detailed study of the science, engineering and applications of teraherz technology, based on room-temperature solid-state devices, which are seen as the key technology for wider applications in this frequency range. The relative merits of electronic and optical devices are discussed and new device principles identified. Issues of teraherz circuit design, implementation and measurement are complemented by chapters on current and future applications in communications, sensing and remote surveillance. The coverage of all aspects of teraherz technology should appeal to both new and established workers in the field, as well as providing a survey for the interested reader.
