Abstract
In this chapter, we explore the captivating domain of terahertz (THz) technology, commencing with an in-depth examination of the physics governing electromagnetic wave generation, particularly in the THz range. The discourse incorporates recent technological strides, notably the pivotal role of femtosecond lasers in advancing THz radiation generation and detection. Terahertz spectroscopy and imaging are introduced, illuminating the multifaceted applications across material analysis. Special focus is directed towards THz spectroscopy techniques such as terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) and time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy (TRTS), which unravel dynamic material properties. The narrative extends to intricate setups and assets associated with these techniques. Furthermore, the chapter delves into the ongoing landscape of THz imaging, encompassing various methodologies, including terahertz near-field imaging. Noteworthy developments in THz technology are emphasized, with a spotlight on biomedical breakthroughs, particularly in early-stage cancer detection. Concluding the exploration, we delve ...
