Terahertz applications laboratory

太赫兹技术已经从一种研究好奇心发展成为各种成像，传感，诊断和通信应用的潜在有价值的替代模式。最近开发的设备和技术为广泛的研究人员提供了在电磁频谱（0.1至10太赫兹）这一以前无法进入的部分产生和检测电磁辐射的能力，推动了研究和商业活动的爆炸式增长。太赫兹波提供高分辨率和穿透许多介电材料，提供安全和强大的成像能力。太赫兹频率对应于复杂分子的特定振动特征，可以识别药理学，资源和生物医学中感兴趣的物质。

Terahertz technology has progressed from a research curiosity to a potentially valuable alternative modality for a variety of imaging, sensing, diagnostic, and communications applications. Recently developed devices and techniques provide a wide range of researchers with the ability to generate and detect electromagnetic radiation in this previously inaccessible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (0.1 to 10 terahertz), driving an explosion of research and commercial activity. Terahertz waves offer high resolution and penetrate numerous dielectric materials, providing a safe and powerful imaging capability. Terahertz frequencies correspond to specific vibrational signatures of complex molecules, enabling identification of substances of interest in pharmacology, resources, and biomedicine.
