Abstract
It is possible, although not usual, to classify Terahertz frequency sources by the extent to which Quantum Mechanics is required to explain their operation. For example, several sources exist for which quantum mechanical explanations are irrelevant: these include devices that operate on the “bunching” principle, such as the Free Electron Lasers (FEL). The second category comprises of those devices for which Quantum Mechanics provides a background: e.g. HBVs, Gunn diodes. Finally, there are those devices for which Quantum Mechanics is essential; e.g. resonant tunnel diodes and cascade lasers.
