Abstract: An emission system, particularly a terahertz emission system comprising an emitter comprising a photoconductive material and first and second electrodes; an excitation device for applying a pulsed radiation signal to the emitter at a pulse repetition frequency; and a biasing means configured to apply an alternating bias voltage signal to the first and second electrodes at a frequency synchronised with the pulse repetition frequency. Applying an AC bias to the emitter, such that the frequency is synchronised with the irradiation frequency, preferably at half the frequency of the irradiation frequency of the excitation laser, serves to reverse the effects of space charge polarisation. The present invention does not prevent space charge polarisation occurring, but utilises it advantageously. That is, when the sign of the applied field for the next laser pulse is reversed, the space charge polarisation that has built up then acts to enhance the electric field between the electrodes while reducing the field directly adjacent to the electrodes.
