Abstract
Various instruments that use THz technologies are commercially available. THz instruments are introduced in terms of two main application categories: spectroscopy and imaging. For spectroscopy, Fourier transform THz system covers the frequency range approximately from 1 to 20 THz. On the other hand, THz TDS is useful for imaging to observe internal structure of opaque objects. Some laboratory made systems, including a THz CT system are also introduced.
