  • For a variety of applications such as telecommunications, signal processing, and material characterization, manipulating of the spatial and spectrum profile of THz pulse is often required. There have been many attempts to get specially intended THz spectrum. These attempts are mostly based on currently realizable optical design methods such as metamateriallms, photonic crystals, perforated metal sheets, generation crystal, multilayered structures, and so on.
