THz Imaging
Terahertz radiation lies between the microwave and the infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Falling within the gap between photonic and electronic devices, THz radiation is relatively under-developed and efficient sources and detectors are lacking. However, THz radiation has many interesting characteristics for potential applications.
