  • Abstract
    In this presentation, we review our recent development on the dielectric THz fibers/waveguides and their applications on THz fiber-delivered and fiber-scanning bio-imaging. Within the sub-THz regime, we find that in vivo imaging contrasts are dominated by water, which acts as the THz signature of life.
