Gregory Flinn

The “terahertz gap” occupies frequencies between 300 GHz and 10 THz and lies between the traditional microwave and optical regions. The term “gap” derives from the historical inaccessibility of this region, a consequence of poor component performance for both generation and detection. Recent advances, however, have rapidly paved the way to the commercial development of terahertz systems, so much so that the February 2004 issue of Technology Review from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge identified terahertz rays in general as one of the 10 most important emerging...Read full article

    microwave
    An electromagnetic wave lying within the region of the frequency spectrum that is between about 1000 MHz (1 GHz) and 100,000 MHz (100 GHz). This is equivalent to the wavelength spectrum that is between one millimeter and one meter, and is also referred to as the infrared and short wave spectrum.
