American Chemical Society session to focus on TeraHertz-rays - the next wave in imaging technology

American Chemical Society session to focus on T-rays - the next wave in imaging technology: "T-rays are the next wave in imaging and sensing technology. Based on the terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum -- defined by frequencies from 0.1 to 10 THz, just between infrared light and microwave radiation -- T-rays are opening the door to a wide variety of applications.

'The last 20 years have seen a revolution in pulsed THz science and technology,' says Zhang, the J. Erik Jonsson '22 Distinguished Professor and director of the Center for Terahertz Research at Rensselaer. 'It is an extremely attractive research field with interest from sectors as diverse as the semiconductor materials, medical, manufacturing, space, and defense industries.' "
