Abstract
We discuss how the propagation of plasma waves in a High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) can be used to implement a new generation of terahertz devices, including sources, resonant detectors, broad band detectors, and frequency multipliers. Our estimates show that these devices should outperform conventional terahertz devices, which use deep submicron Schottky diodes
