N1 - Funding Information: The author of the review thanks the NovoFEL team, which provides the operation of the laser and workstations, as well as the numerous users of NovoFEL for their intellectual contribution to the development of experimental techniques and constant cooperation. The review of experiments on formation of vector vortex beams and generation of surface plasmon polaritons with an orbital angular momentum were supported by RSF grant 19-12-00103. The experiments on diffractive optical elements were partially supported be RSF grant 19-72-20202 The experiments described in the section on acousto-optics were partially supported by RSF grant 18-12-00430. All experiments were carried out at the shared research center SSTRC based on the Novosibirsk FEL complex at BINP SB RAS based on NovoFEL facility. The author is especially grateful to the colleagues who participated in the above-mentioned works: Nikolay A. Vinokurov, Gennagy N. Kulipanov, Yulia Yu. Choporova, Vasiliy V. Gerasimov, Yaroslav V. Getmanov, Yaroslav I. Gorbachyov, Ildus Sh. Khasanov, Oleg E. Kameshkov, Maxim S. Komlenok, Taras V. Kononenko, Vitaly I. Konov, Igor A. Kotelnikov, Vitaliy V. Kubarev, Aleksey K. Nikitin, Pavel A.

N2 - A review is given of recent experiments in the field of terahertz optics conducted on the Novosibirsk free electron laser (NovoFEL). The NovoFEL facility configuration is briefly described, and radiation characteristics of the three laser systems of the facility are presented. Considerable attention has been paid to the development and testing of quasi-optical elements designed for this range and methods to produce high-power beams of terahertz radiation with a given mode composition. The use of terahertz radiation in the spectroscopy of gases and semiconductors and generation and research on surface plasmon polaritons, as well as applying the latter in surface study and communication applications, are described.
