What are Terahertz Components?

Terahertz refers to frequencies from 0.1 to 10 THz (i.e. 1 THz equals $10^{12}$ Hz) in the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. The terahertz radiation lies between the microwave and mid-infrared band of the EM spectrum. Terahertz frequency waves travel in a Line of Sight and are non-ionizing waves like IR/microwave.

Terahertz frequencies penetrate a wide variety of non-conducting materials such as paper, wood, clothes, plastic, ceramic, and so on. Terahertz radiation is highly reflected by metals.

It is also used for various applications such as drugs manufacturing, quality control, THz imaging, safety control, packaging inspection, chemical composition analysis etc.

The components that work or are used for terahertz frequencies are called terahertz components. These are THz windows, THz lenses, THz Prisms, THz mirrors, THz waveplates, THz spectral splitters, THz beam splitters etc.

The Terahertz components used in wireless communication systems are THz antennas, THz sources or generators, THz detectors, THz modulators/demodulators, THz oscillators, THz filters, THz attenuators, THz amplifiers, THz dielectric materials and so on. Terahertz optics production require the use of crystals such as quartz, silicon and sapphire etc.
