Terahertz sensing technology. Volume 2, Emerging scientific applications & novel device concepts /
The last research frontier in high frequency electronics lies in the so-called terahertz (or submillimeter wave) regime, between the traditional microwave and the infrared domains. Significant scientific and technical challenges within the terahertz (THz) frequency regime have recently motivated an...
