How do you make a THz frequency?

Broadband terahertz pulses can be generated by exciting THz-PCAs with a femto-second short pulse laser . Using a femto-second laser with ~ 100 fs optical pulse duration, terahertz pulses with their frequency content extended up to around 5 THz and an average power of a few μW can be achieved.

What frequency is THz?

Terahertz (THz) is a unit of measure of frequency that is equal to 1 trillion hertz (1012 Hz) . It usually refers to the frequency of an electromagnetic wave, which is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum invisible to the naked eye that lies in between the microwave and the infrared range.

What is THz wavelength?

Between microwaves & infrared The terahertz range refers to electromagnetic waves with frequencies between 100 GHz and 10 THz, or wavelengths between 3 mm and 30 μm . Light between radio waves and infrared has some unique properties. Terahertz can “look inside” plastics and textiles, paper and cardboard.
