Terahertz (THz) research has received much attention recently. This development is due to the discovery of new THz-radiation sources and detectors such as quantum cascade lasers, photo conductive switches or electro-optic THz- detectors during the last decade. Of particular interest are broadband Thz-spectroscopy and imaging systems operating in the frequency range 0.1-10THz
