Popis:	Light-matter interactions are key in providing fundamental information about materials. The terahertz (THz) frequency range is a critically important region of the electromagnetic spectrum where the electronic properties of many quantum materials have resonant responses. It has also long been difficult to access; a property which has been termed the THz gap. In recent decades though, new techniques and methods in THz spectroscopy have come a long way to filling in that gap with more efficient emitters and detectors. We describe here our contributions to the field of THz spectroscopy. We detail the development and construction of devices and development of techniques to explore new categories of materials and generally expand the capabilities of THz spectroscopy. We also demonstrate the efficacy of these techniques in novel and interesting material systems.
