Summary :

As new applications of THz waves emerge, new active and passive components need to be developed. The efficiency of wave guiding systems can be significantly increased with the use of MEMS approaches as well as with the development of new planar antenna concepts with high bunching properties. Generation of sufficient THz power relies on new active devices like Heterostructure Barrier Varactors and cascaded quantum structures, but also in the optimisation of new generation concepts. One of these is photomixing in non-linear materials with very short carrier lifetimes, like low-temperature-grown GaAs.
