Terahertz 3D Spectroscopy Boosts Imaging Applications Apr 19, 2018 — Terahertz imaging is a promising technique for noncontact, non-invasive, nonionizing 3D spectroscopy. Terahertz rays, located between microwave and IR on the electromagnetic spectrum from approximately 0.06 THz (60 GHz) to 10 THz, are capable of penetrating nonconducting materials and revealing information from within samples. Measurements use the time-domain profile information from a terahertz pulse to produce the 3D images.
