This chapter describes techniques and systems regarding terahertz sources and detectors, mainly reviewing basic concepts and principles to help understand THz imaging instruments. The terahertz technologies outlined in this chapter provide background knowledge to the experimental work on the identification and reconstruction of terahertz spectroscopic data introduced later in this monograph. This chapter also covers the imaging modes, which involve both ultrafast pulsed systems and terahertz QCLs.
