The recent development of easy-to-use sources and detectors of terahertz radiation has enabled growth in applications of terahertz (Thz) imaging and sensing. This vastly adaptable technology offers great potential across a wide range of areas, and the Handbook of terahertz technology for imaging, sensing and communications explores the fundamental principles, important developments and key applications emerging from this exciting field. Part one provides an authoritative introduction to the fundamentals of terahertz technology for imaging, sensing and communications, before part two goes on to discuss recent progress and novel techniques. Finally, varied applications of terahertz technology are explored in part three.

Key Features: examines techniques for the generation and detection of terahertz waves; discusses material development for terahertz applications; explores applications in tomographic imaging, art conservation and the pharmaceutical and aerospace industries.
