Abstract :
The terahertz (THz) regime, commonly designated as the frequency region between 300 GHz and 3 THz, is relatively underutilized compared to other areas of the electromagnetic spectrum. However, THz radiation has many potential applications in molecular spectroscopy, communications, medical imaging, and security imaging1.
