Abstract

This paper presents a review of the recent development and research work on InP devices and their associated systems to generate and detect signal beyond 1 THz. The potential of the technology and the remaining challenges are also discussed. The paper will present recent results on laser sources that could be used as the basis of the THz sources as well as a set of potential THz emitters such as the UTC photodiode which has already permitted up to 25 muW to be emitted at 1 THz.
