The OPTHER project: Progress toward the THz amplifier

This paper describes the status of the OPTHER (OPtically driven TeraHertz AmplifiERs) project and progress toward the THz amplifier realization. This project represents a considerable advancement in the field of high frequency amplification. The design and realization of a THz amplifier within this project is a consolidation of efforts at the international level from the leading scientific and industrial European organizations working with vacuum electronics.
