Abstract :
Frequency multipliers based on GaAs diodes remain the most viable option for creating cost efficient and reliable sources of terahertz power. The present status of the diode technology and recent advances in the development of broad band multipliers is reviewed. Additionally, the ongoing efforts to make this technology more cost efficient for a broader range of applications is presented
