There has been an increasing interest in the application of terahertz (THz) waves to broadband wireless communications. In particular, use of frequencies above 275 GHz is one of the strong concerns among radio scientists and engineers, because these frequency bands have not yet been allocated at specific active services, and there is a possibility to employ extremely large bandwidths for ultra-broadband wireless communications. Introduction of photonics technologies for signal generation, modulation and detection is effective not only to enhance the bandwidth and/or the data rate, but also to combine fiber-optic (wired) and wireless networks. This paper reviews recent progress in THz wireless communications using telecom-based photonics technologies towards 100 Gbit/s.
太赫兹（THz）波在宽带无线通信中的应用越来越受到关注。特别是，275GHz以上频率的使用是无线电科学家和工程师们强烈关注的问题之一，因为这些频段尚未分配给特定的有源服务，并且有可能为超宽带无线通信采用极大的带宽。引入用于信号产生、调制和检测的光子技术不仅有效地提高了带宽和/或数据速率，而且还能将光纤（有线）网络和无线网络结合起来。本文综述了利用基于电信的光子技术实现太赫兹无线通信向100Gbit/s发展的最新进展。
