摘要：
This article reviews the fundamental concepts, technology, and recent developments on the topic of THz photomixers made from low-temperature-grown GaAs, ErAs:GaAs, and ErAs:InGaAs. It is designed to be comprehensive and useful both to students and to engineers and scientists new to the THz field.
