Abstract
The use of Lightwaves to generate, transmit and process Terahertz radiation has now reached a critical stage of development. This is a result of major advances in laser technology and fiber optic devices. Soon these developments will permit realistic Terahertz systems to be fabricated, for the first time, for specific applications areas.
