Tera-Hertz

0.1-10 THz
“Last Unexplored Frontier” in the Electromagnetic Spectrum

 Lack of bright sources and sensitive means of detection.

 invisible to the naked eye.

 lying between mm wave and Far-infrared.

 Penetrate through the dielectric object.


0.3 THz – 10
THz – also  Highly absorbed by water molecule.
known as Sub
mm wave (λ ≤ 1
mm ≡ 300 GHz)
 Imaging capability is better than Microwave/mm-wave
or Extreme Far due to µm size wave length. – Diffraction limit
