| Summary: | Development of terahertz pulse sources and methods are ongoing with an urge to reduce cost, increase quality of emitter design and improve on the output power. This thesis details two advances made in creating terahertz pulses from ultrafast currents, the first is optimising the biasing method used on photoconductive antennas for terahertz emission and the second manufacturing and studying electron-emission type terahertz emitters. |
