Abstract
A method and a system for generating terahertz signals, the system comprising a pump source, a two-wire waveguide; and at least one terahertz source, wherein the terahertz source is embedded within the two-wire waveguide and the pump source is configured to illuminate the terahertz source, the terahertz source generating terahertz signals directly within the two-wire waveguide. A terahertz source, embedded within a two-wire waveguide, said source being configured to be illuminated within the two-wire waveguide with a pump source for generating terahertz signals directly inside the two-wire waveguide. A two-wire waveguide system is thus provided, comprising a two-wire waveguide and a terahertz source embedded between the wires of the two-wire waveguide and configured to be illuminated within the two-wire waveguide with a pump source for generating terahertz signals directly inside the two-wire waveguide.
