Terahertz waves, also known as terahertz radiation or T-rays, are a type of electromagnetic radiation with frequencies ranging from 0.3 to 30 terahertz (THz), corresponding to wavelengths between 1 millimeter and 10 micrometers. This frequency range lies between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Terahertz waves are non-ionizing, meaning they do not have enough energy to ionize atoms or molecules, which makes them safer for biological tissues compared to higher frequency radiation like X-rays.
The unique properties of terahertz waves make them useful in various applications. They can penetrate many
Despite their potential, terahertz waves are challenging to generate and detect due to their high frequency.
