Extension of techniques in the submillimeter (a.k.a. terahertz)

In the beginning, the pursuit of the submillimeter was a cottage industry. Now the availability of a commercial technology has made this spectral region much more widely accessible. More recently, a largely laser based community that refers to itself as the terahertz community has emerged. In general because of resolution and spectral brightness issues, these techniques are not appropriate for the work described here.
