Applying THz Technology in Life Science
Paper in proceeding, 2014
Bio-molecules, due to their structure and size, have
vibrational and rotational resonances at THz frequencies
(0.1 to 10 THz) [1]. This unique interaction
promises a multitude of applications in life sciences,
wherein the latest development of THz sources and
detectors has enabled this field of research to grow.
Although being at an early and mostly exploratory
stage of development, this field is riddled with many
challenges that should be overcome; measurements
of inhomogeneous media, short interaction lengths
with few molecules, strong water absorption, and also
the cultural gap between medical and engineering
communities.
In this work we present our preliminary results for
three experiments within this field.
