Terahertz

Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-001220

A unit of frequency equal to one trillion (10^12) hertz, representing electromagnetic waves with wavelengths between microwaves and infrared radiation. Terahertz radiation is non-ionizing and can penetrate many non-conductive materials, making it useful for imaging and spectroscopy. The terahertz gap, a historical challenge in generating and detecting these waves, has seen advancements with technologies like quantum cascade lasers.
