Phillips X. Terahertz Technology

The English Press, 2011. — 89 p. — ISBN 978-93-81157-35-0.In Electronics, Terahertz Technology refers to electromagnetic waves propagating at frequencies in the terahertz range. It is synonymously termed submillimeter radiation, terahertz waves, terahertz light, T-rays, T-light, T-lux and THz. The term typically applies to electromagnetic radiation with frequencies between high-frequency edge of the microwave band, 300 gigahertz (3×1011 Hz), and the long-wavelength edge of farinfrared light, 3000 GHz (3×1012 Hz or 3 THz). In wavelengths, this range corresponds to 0.1 mm (or 100 μm) infrared to 1.0 mm microwave. The THz band straddles the region where electromagnetic physics can best be described by its wave-like characteristics (microwave) and its particle-like characteristics (infrared).
Terahertz waves lie at the far end of the infrared band, just before the start of the microwave band.Introduction to Terahertz Technology.
