    bandwidth
    The range of frequencies over which a particular instrument is designed to function within specified limits. See also fiber bandwidth.
    optical
    Pertaining to optics and the phenomena of light.
    optical communications
    The transmission and reception of information by optical devices and sensors.
    spectrum
    See optical spectrum; visible spectrum.
    terahertz
    Terahertz (THz) refers to a unit of frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum, denoting waves with frequencies between 0.1 and 10 terahertz. One terahertz is equivalent to one trillion hertz, or cycles per second. The terahertz frequency range falls between the microwave and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Key points about terahertz include: Frequency range: The terahertz range spans from approximately 0.1 terahertz (100 gigahertz) to 10 terahertz. This corresponds to...
    transceiver
    An instrument or system capable of both transmitting and receiving a signal.
    transmission
    In optics, the conduction of radiant energy through a medium. Often denotes the percentage of energy passing through an element or system relative to the amount that entered. See transmission efficiency.
