Description
Summary:The US Department of Defense Research and Engineering Enterprise funds leading-edge research that continually expands the boundaries of human capability. Over the past several years, a number of US DoD research programs have focused on creating vacuum electronic devices capable of operating in the THz region of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically defined as 300 GHz to 3,000 GHz. This paper will place these research programs in context, describe the program goals, and highlight selected breakthroughs.
