Abstract

As THz waves interact with vibration and rotation transitions of organic molecules, they can be used to identify specific molecules based on their spectral features. In this way, THz technology can be used as a complement to other electromagnetic spectroscopy methods, such as visible and infrared. As THz photons have lower energy, they are unable to ionize biological samples under normal conditions. This makes THz spectroscopy an ideal tool for the examination of active biomedical samples. Due to the complexity of working with biological samples, biological applications are considered a mid- to long-term goal of THz research.
