Abstract
Radiation from the Terahertz (THz) (also called far-infrared) region of the electromagnetic spectrum is extensively used for many different purposes. This chapter gives an introduction to the generation mechanisms of THz radiation. The underlying physics processes will be discussed with emphasis on the properties of coherent radiation and the corresponding accelerator and detection techniques.

Synchrotron radiation spectrum measured at the KIT light source. The discrete peaks at integers of the bunch’s revolution frequency of 2.7 MHz are clearly visible. The double peak structure (gray peaks) is an artifact of the measurement (Steinmann et al. 2016)
