In this time\, we have seen a phenomenal growth of silicon sy stems operating at THz frequencies for a wide range of applications in sen sing\, imaging and communication.

The ultimate programmability in THz sources and sensors is one that can synthesize or receive THz fields with arbitrary configuration and spectru m.
