The purpose of this dissertation is the analysis of the state-of-the-art technology associated with the generation and detection of Terahertz (THz) radiation systems and its current applications. THz radiation is the electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range of frequencies from 0.3 to 10 THz (wavelength 1mm - 30μm) and is the long- term and promising frontier for science and technology. At the same time, it has attracted significant attention due to its detection ability and non-invasive and non-ionizing properties. THz technology is an ever-evolving research area, which through its technology, has applications in many scientific fields.The content of the present thesis gains a respectable amount of attention and value, given the current situation that is presented through the increased challenges and needs in the fields of medicine, pharmacy, biotechnology, etc.In particular, the first chapter includes the basic principles of the definition and the characteristics of THz radiation. Furthermore, in the second chapter the techniques of generation and detection of this radiation as well as the analysis of THz technology are presented. Finally, the third chapter is dedicated to a more detailed presentation of the applications of THz systems and in particular the emerging technology of THz that are used in many fields, such as the biomedicine, in the areas of plant safety, non-destructive testing (NDT), food quality control and security.
