The present status and the prospects of efficient pulsed terahertz (THz) sources based on optical rectification in lithium niobate and semiconductors, pumped by femtosecond pulses with tilted intensity front, will be discussed. Applications range from nonlinear THz spectroscopy and multispectral imaging to electron and proton acceleration.
