In physics, terahertz radiation 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, THz. The term typically applies to electromagnetic radiation with frequencies between high-frequency edge of the microwave band, 300 gigahertz, and the long-wavelength edge of far-infrared light, 3000 GHz. In wavelengths, this range corresponds to 0.1 mm 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). According to some authors the THz band is also designated as Tremendously high frequency or THF. This book is your ultimate resource for Terahertz Radiation.
