The development of radiation sources in the THz spectral region has become more and more interesting because of the peculiar characteristics of this radiation: it is non ionizing, it penetrates dielectrics, it is highly absorbed by polar liquids, highly reflected by metals and reveals specific "fingerprint" absorption spectra arising from fundamentals physical processes. The THz source at SPARC is an accelerator based source for research investigations (e.g. material science, biology fields). Its measured peak power is of the order of 108 W, very competitive with respect to other present sources. The present status of the source is presented and future perspectives are presented.
