Gravitational Wave Physics is entering into a new age of exploration: low and medium frequency gravitational wave detectors are being planned and built worldwide, and even the first space‐based mission for their detection is under way. Interest now is also being focused in the high frequency domain of this new type of radiation, which may hold the details about events in the early Universe important to cosmology. The present paper aims at giving a general overview in the field of High Frequency Gravitational Waves (HFGW). The paper is split into three main parts: the first one will be focused on sources for HFGW as well as fundamentals for their detection. The second one will cover different detector architectures being currently proposed. And the third and final part will be devoted to highlighting the potential applications of this new type of radiation.
