The Terahertz (THz) spectrum is located between lower frequencies of microwave band and higher frequencies of the optical band in the electromagnetic spectrum. These frequencies ranging from 300GHz to 3THz are called Terahertz waves or THz waves. THz waves have been gaining increased attention in recent years due to the development of effective THz sources and detectors. This has enabled technology developers to leverage the unique properties of THz waves.
The waves are non-ionizing in nature and are thus do not pose safety issues when used on humans. Moreover, the waves have the property to penetrate through various dielectric materials and thus can be used for a multitude of security and imaging applications. The unique rotational and vibrational responses of materials in the THz range provide information that is generally absent in optical, X-ray, and NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) images. Along with this, THz waves can also be leveraged for high bandwidth and ultra fast data transmission.
