Abstract
Reflecting the flourishing THz science and technology in the past decade, a number of groups in Taiwan have initiated research activities in this area. All major research universities as well as the semi-public Industrial Technology Research Institute are represented. Current research topics include THz devices (emitters, detectors, phase shifters) and the applications of THz time-domain spectroscopy to the study the far-infrared optical properties of various materials. Highlights of recent research activities are outlined.
